What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yehoshua Balkany’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Good evening. We usher in a new Humash Vayikra and with the very first sedra also called Vayikra. We celebrate this Shabbos having completed the dalet parshios and next Shabbos is Shabbos Hagadol. So, there is nothing on this Shabbos which is, you know, unique in the sense of being added and extra to the regular. of being added and extra to the regular. But, the kriya of Shabbos begins the entire area and arena of korbanos. The Arizal asks, why is it that we are allowed to take an animal to be able to gain our atonement? We did something wrong, we take an innocent animal, we kill them, we bring them as a korban. But, says the Arizal that if an animal, someone goes out to the if an animal, someone goes out to the flock and he takes from the flock an animal from 300, let's say, cattle, min hashamayim, he ends up choosing an animal that needed either itself or it has a neshama in it that needed the same kapara that the person who is taking the animal now for his atonement and he's shachting it and bringing it as and he's shachting it and bringing it as a korban to be able to to wipe the slate clean for himself and for the animal that has the same problem. And that's why we can just choose an animal because he says the result says that it comes out, excuse me, in a very strong sense kaparos for in a very strong sense kaparos for the actual both of them. Now, I want to just jump to the end of this said of the last two words of this week's said of the in its 111 spoken is le ashma ba. Which means we talk about the korban the asham, which was like a guilt offering for something somebody went and did navera
