Spirituality, The Korbanot and Kosher

This program is a continuation of the  series within a series on the Korbanot and their relation to spirituality.  In this program we look briefly at a list of the types of Korbanot. Then, I begin the alegorical look at the Camel and Pig as given by Philo the Jewish  Philosopher.   Philo looks that the Biblical mandate for korbanot. Then he explains why the Camel and pig are not acceptable on a allegorical level.

Spirituality, The Korbanot #2  / קרבנות ב

In this program I continue my  series within a series on the Korbanot and their relation to spirituality.   I delve deeper into the understanding of the allegorical interpretation of the korbanot found in Vayikra (Leviticus) chapter 1.  I first look at the varied levels of Rabbinic Hermeneutics then launch the discussion in to a comparative between Romans Chapter 12 and Leviticus chapter 1. I further elaborate on Shaul’s phrase concerning “living sacrifices” from his letter to the Romans Chapter 12.
