![PARSHAT VAYIKRA: To Sacrifice Or Not - That Is The Question]([{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto/v1646940269/levineacademyorg/cgkhlurgl7k6ivw6ttni/zoeb.jpg","width":179}])

What I think is quite interesting about this parsha is that there are multiple types of sacrifices, each with its own purpose and reason. There’s the ascending offering, meal offering, peace offering, sin offering, and guilt offering.
I think this can relate to everyday life because today instead of sacrificing, we use praying in siddurs. In the siddur, there are multiple prayers just like how there are multiple sacrifices. We have prayers about giving thanks, meals, peace, and for forgiveness for our sins, instead of sacrifices. Which I think is better in my opinion because we don’t have to kill animals just to say thank you, or I’m sorry. Today we can just say these things by praying.
