This week's PARSHA is from Leviticus (Vayikra) Chapters 1:1 - 5:26

Questions were prepared by Rabbi Joshua Adler and members of the staff.

1. Why do you think the Torah permits a poor man to bring a bird as
   a sacrifice ?

2. The Hebrew word for sacrifice is KORBAN from the root KRV (coming
   close). What does this suggest about the purpose of the sacrifice ?

3. A number of typical sins is listed in the PARSHA. List at least 5.

4. There is an old Jewish tradition that youngsters begin their study
   of Torah with this PARSHA. What rationale can you find for this ?

5. What logic is there in the order of scarifices presented in the
   PARSHA (hint: see the RAMBAN commentary).

6. What type of situation requires an individual offering ?
