As we begin our in-depth study of Sefer Vayyikra, we examine the place and role of this third Humash -and question whether it was ideally intended to be "at the middle" of the Torah. We propose a different paradigm for viewing Vayyikra - and the books that both precede it as well as those that follow it - and suggest looking at the entire book as driven by its opening call - אדם כי יקריב מכם קרבן לה׳ - the invitation to come close to Hashem.
Learning on the Marcos and Adina Katz YUTorah site is sponsored today by the Goldberg and Mernick Families in loving memory of the yahrzeit of Illean K. Goldberg, Chaya Miriam bas Chanoch
