thank you okay today we're going to talk about corbanot um someone asked me a question last week you know isn't the idea of sacrificing animals primitive you know I'm sure you've heard this question before um so we want to address it and hopefully explain what's really the base of corbinol sacrifices so we can appreciate because we are praying in ashwanna ashrae every day for God to restore the temple and restore this to service so if it's so primitive why are we why are we praying and hoping to return to such behavior and offer up sacrifices once again so to appreciate where sacrifices come from let's go back to the very very beginning we know that when God made Adam So Adam is the first person to bring up a sacrifice now I want to ask you guys what what did he was he thinking what made him decide you know he he of course there was a sin of the of the hate sadas the sin involved the tree of knowledge and part of his repentance you know it involved bringing up a sacrifice what was he thinking he's the first man created there is no one he's not copying anyone's prior Behavior he's the only one that exists he decides well part of you know trying to rectify my standing with Hashem and come close
