    About this ebook

    Using a seven day/weekly guide format, a recovering person and a spiritual leader who is reaching out to addicted people reflect on the traditional weekly Bible reading. They bring strong spiritual support for daily living and recovery from addictions of all kinds: Alcohol, drugs, eating, gambling and sex. A profound sense of the religious spirit soars through their words and brings all people in Twelve Step recovery programs home to a rich and spiritually enlightening tradition.

      Renewed Each Day—Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy - Rabbi Kerry M. Olitzky

      Vayikra: Personal Sacrifices

      Leviticus 1:1–5:26

      Whether one offers much or little makes no difference, if only one's heart is directed to God.

      Sifra to Leviticus 1:17

      The standard sacrifice is described, as an introduction to the sacrificial system which follows. This is a voluntary offering brought by an individual.

      In thanksgiving, the Israelites are instructed to offer the sacrifice of well-being, a festive meal eaten by the one bringing the sacrifice and his guests. Often this is referred to as a peace-offering.

      The sin-offering comes next, followed by a guilt-offering which is prescribed as a penalty.

      Sunday

      He shall bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, for acceptance on his behalf before Adonai.

      Leviticus 1:3

      Here our souls are bared. There is no room for cleverness or deceit. Nor is there any need. In Tents of Meeting or rooms of Fellowship. Be open and honest. It’s hard—but you are among friends. Really!

      Monday

      If one’s offering is a burnt-offering of the herd, one should offer a male without blemish ...

      Leviticus 1:3

      Of the freewill offering described in Leviticus 1:3, Rashi comments: They press him until he says ‘I wish to do it.’ What kind of a freewill offering is that? The answer of Maimonides is that the concept of pressing cannot be applied to performing the Divine will. We really want to do good, he teaches, but our evil urges press us in the opposite direction. To be pressed away from our evil inclination, according to this reasoning, is not a matter of duress, since bad behavior, in our heart of hearts, is really not our choice. With similar but more succinct wisdom, a Yiddish proverb tells us, "No choice is also a
