In Vivo Vayikra / Oh, Canada Continued (Click For Link)

I am thinking about Vayikra. If you had ten minutes to talk about Vayikra, what would you say? Consider that while you were pondering the parsha there was also the possibility that your group were in a hotel in Canada and there was turbulence. Tension; Who needs it? Sigh.

I am thinking of a favorite story.

Two friends make a deal, the one that dies first will tell the other about it. One dies and visits the other in a dream, asking, "How`s life?" The living man replies that life is good and asks his friend, "How`s death?" The man who died says, "Great. I eat whenever I want. I sleep whenever I want. And I fulfill every physical desire whenever I want.¨ The other friend says, "I never would have guessed, you died and went to heaven!" The other responds, "No. I was reincarnated. I`m a cow in Kansas."

Entry level spirituality is the recognition that we are humans, like Adam, not animals. The meaning of sacrifices to G-d is to reenforce our humanity. May we be so blessed to accept this crown.
