This week’s Parsaha is Leviticus 1:1 to 5: 26, Vayikra, the very beginning of the third book of the Torah. In the first five chapters of the book we learn about all sorts of offerings, of animals, of cereal (mostly either fried with oil on a griddle or deep fried in a pot) blood offering, and fat offerings and all sorts of reasons to make them. (One of the reasons seems to be failure to relate something that you are required to tell — which sounds a lot like Obstruction of Justice.) But mostly, if you’ve done something wrong, you can square things with G-d by making an offering of some sort. And these first chapters of Leviticus offer a road map on how to do it.
