Welcome to Vayikra (And He Called), our study of the portion of Torah
that will be read in synagogues around the world this Shabbat (Saturday).
We know you will be blessed as you study this Torah portion with us. Enjoy!
Last week, Parasha Pekudei was the final Torah portion in the book of Exodus.
This Shabbat, we begin studying the Book of Leviticus. In Hebrew, Leviticus
is called Vayikra after its opening word וַיִּקְרָא, which means and He called. The
Torah portion, Vayikra, presents the laws of korbanot (קָרְבָּנוֹת offerings),
including the korban olah (קָרְבַּן עוֹלָה) or burnt offerings.
You can view this Parasha on our website complete with embedded links ...

Weekly Torah Portion: Vayikra
As parashat Vayikra opens, G-d whispers in man's ear, "I believe in you. I believe in you and your ability to fulfill
your destiny as the crown of My creation. The korbanot (offerings) in the Tabernacle are your way to draw near to Me."
Vayikra (Leviticus 1:1 - 5:26)
Parashat Vayikra is read on Shabbat:

Ambassador David Friedman Sworn Into Office - With a Small Jewish Twist
w vid by Abra Forman
President Donald Trump’s nominee for US ambassador to Israel David Friedman was sworn into office on Wednesday, taking the solemn oath, administered by Vice President Mike Pence, with his hand on the Bible – and a small Jewish twist. “Please raise your right hand and repeat after me,” Pence instructed. “I, David Friedman, do solemnly swear…” However, Friedman’s repetition had a slight alteration. “I, David Friedman, do solemnly affirm,” the bankruptcy lawyer said, pausing before making the change, “that I will support and defend the constitution of the United States.” - In Judaism, taking an oath is a serious and binding act which requires a ceremony called hatarat nedarim, or annulment of vows, in front of three witnesses in order to void. Therefore, observant Jews studiously avoid making oaths. A common phrase used in everyday conversation, “bli neder” (“without vow”), is often tacked on to any kind of promise or guarantee to indicate that no oath has been made. [...]

The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When any man
of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of animals from the herd or the flock. If his offering is a
burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer it, a male without defect; he shall offer it at the doorway of the tent of meeting,
that he may be accepted before the LORD.
Leviticus 1:1–3
Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Vayikra - Blood of the Lamb - Aftermath of Disobedience !!!
Shabbat Shalom
Welcome to Vayikra
(And He Called), our study of the portion of Torah
that will be read in synagogues around the world this
Shabbat (Saturday).
We know you will be blessed as you study this Torah
portion with us. Enjoy!
VAYIKRA (And He
Called)
Leviticus 1:1–5:26; Isaiah 43:21–44:23; Hebrews
9:1–28
“The Lord called to Moses
and spoke to him from the tent of meeting.” (Leviticus
1:1)
Last week, Parasha Pekudei was the final Torah portion in
the book of Exodus.
This Shabbat, we begin studying the Book of
Leviticus. In Hebrew, Leviticus is called Vayikra
after its opening word וַיִּקְרָא,
which means and He called.
An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man reads from the scroll of Esther.
The Relevance of
Offerings
“Speak to the sons of Israel
and say to them, ‘When any man of you brings an offering
to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of animals from
the herd or the flock.
"If his offering is a burnt
offering from the herd, he shall offer it, a male without
defect; he shall offer it at the doorway of the tent of
meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD.”
(Leviticus 1:2–3)
(Leviticus 1:2–3)
The Torah portion, Vayikra, presents the laws of korbanot
(קָרְבָּנוֹת offerings), including the korban olah
(קָרְבַּן עוֹלָה) or burnt offerings.
The Hebrew noun olah
means goes up because
the priest would burn the offerings on the wood of the
altar, the aroma would go up to be accepted by the Lord.
The Hebrew word korbanot
comes from the root word k-r-v
(קרב), which means to
be close (karov). The
sacrifices, once accepted by God restore closeness and
intimacy between Him and His people.
It is our iniquities and sins that separate us from God
and prevent us from establishing or maintaining a close
relationship with Him.
“But your iniquities have
separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His
face from you, so that He will not hear.”
(Isaiah 59:2)
(Isaiah 59:2)
A korban olah could be a ram, male goat, bull, pigeon, or turtle dove.
Although some New Covenant Believers consider the laws in
Leviticus irrelevant and obsolete, they remain relevant and
are indeed extremely important.
For instance, without them we cannot grasp the concept of
blood sacrifice to atone for sin. That
core concept in God’s plan for redemption helps us rightly
understand the sacrificial death of Yeshua (Jesus) the
Messiah.
Attempting to understand Yeshua’s death on the Roman
execution stake without comprehending the blood sacrifices
is like trying to build a house without a foundation. The
home may last for a time but will not withstand the fierce
storms without that solid base.
Likewise, we must have a
solid foundation in the Word of God to rightly
understand the Word of God, as well as
successfully navigate through the storms of life.
A Jewish girl holds the Torah scroll, which is
covered by a Torah mantle and silver breastplate.
For some people, a guilty conscience over past sins
causes them to be alienated from God, despite having
received forgiveness.
The blood sacrifice of Yeshua, however, was shed to
restore us to right relationship with God and to completely
cleanse us of any trace of a guilty conscience:
“How much more will the
blood of Messiah who through the eternal Spirit offered
Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience
from dead works to serve the living God?”
(Hebrews 9:14)
(Hebrews 9:14)
Despite this, some followers of Yeshua still struggle
with guilt and condemnation, even though the Word of God
promises that those who are in the Messiah are free:
“There is therefore no
condemnation to those in Yeshua the Messiah who do not
walk in the flesh.” (Romans 8:1)
Just as the blood of
the lamb had to be applied to the doorposts of our homes
in Egypt, so must the blood of Yeshua be applied to our
hearts, by faith, to wash us clean from every trace of
guilty conscience and shame over our past sins.
“Let us draw near with a
true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts
sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed
with pure water.” (Hebrews 10:22)
The pure waters refer to the mikvah, the ritual water
immersion, which is symbolic of our new spiritual birth.
Blood on the doorpost
Only when our hearts have been cleaned (sprinkled with
the blood of Yeshua) and our bodies immersed in the mikvah
can we have this assurance of our
faith that allows us to draw near to God.
A guilty conscience over our past will separate us from
intimacy with God, as well as with other Believers in the
Body of Messiah.
The above Scripture (Hebrews 10:22) is followed by an exhortation
to make sure we continue to meet together with other
Believers as the Body of Messiah (Hebrews
10:24–25).
We cannot expect to walk free of sin if we isolate
ourselves from those who follow Yeshua. We need to stay
accountable to one another and to exhort one another to live
a life of holiness.
Since each of us has been given the ministry of
reconciliation, we should be agents of healing and
restoration.
Reading the Torah
The Blood of
Sprinkling
“He shall slay the young
bull before the LORD; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall
offer up the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the
altar that is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.” (Leviticus
1:5)
The Cohen (High Priest) not only sprinkled the
blood around the altar, he dipped his finger in it and
sprinkled it seven times before the Lord, in front of the
veil. (Leviticus 4:17)
Some suggest that, likewise, the blood of Yeshua, who was
the High Priest (Cohen
HaGadol) of the New Covenant, was also
sprinkled before the Lord seven times:
- Yeshua perspired drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane when He prayed to the Father: “And being in anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.” (Luke 22:44)
- He was struck in the face until it was “marred beyond recognition.” (Isaiah 52:14)
- His back was scourged with a whip. (Isaiah 50:6; Matthew 27:26)
- The soldiers put a crown of thorns on His head. (John 19:2)
- They plucked out His beard. (Isaiah 50:6)
- They pierced His hands and feet. (Psalm 22:16; Luke 24:39; John 20:27)
- They pierced His side with a spear and blood and water came out. (Psalm 22:14; John 19:34)
Yeshua Tempted in the Wilderness, by James Tissot
Satanic Counterfeit
Animal rights activists are likely appalled to
read of all the sacrifices that the Torah requires.
Some people, even Believers, are uncomfortable with the
whole idea of blood sacrifices. One of the reasons is our
natural human aversion to blood. Another reason is because
of the association with evil satanic rituals.
Satanism observes its own system of blood sacrifices to
the powers of darkness.
As well, Satan often attempts to twist and pervert the
Word of God, using it for his own evil purposes. Luke 4
gives us an example of how he did this with Yeshua when He
was tested in the wilderness.
Satan misleads by
substituting wicked counterfeits for the holy things of
God, such as blood sacrifices.
People of various pagan religions have practiced the
ritual killing of animals to appease their false gods. Many
cultures used animal sacrifice in purification ceremonies.
Some of these include (in addition to the Hebrews): Greeks,
Romans, Ancient Egyptians, Aztecs and Yoruba.
Is animal sacrifice still practiced today? Not currently
in Judaism, as the korbanot cannot be offered without the
Temple. And there has not been a Temple for nearly 2,000
years.
However, outside of Judaism, it is practiced. Followers
of Santeria (a religion of Caribbean origin) to this day
offer up some sacrificial animals to cure the sick or give
thanks to their god (Orisa) as part of their ritual
activities.
There are also some Christians in certain Greek villages
who, in a practice called kourbània, sacrifice animals to
Orthodox saints.
Carrying the Torah at the Western (Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem.
Human Sacrifice
Another Satanic counterfeit to God’s sacrificial system
is found in some cultures and religions in which human
beings were sacrificed as a way of giving their very best to
their god.
In times of natural disasters, such as earthquakes,
floods, or volcanic eruptions, which have historically been
understood as evidence of their deity’s anger or
displeasure, other cultures have offered up human
sacrifice in the hopes of appeasing the wrath of their
gods.
Even in the West, rumors abound on the Internet and the
Hollywood scene that a human blood sacrifice will move one
into the extremely wealthy club ($20 million+).
Whether or not it is actually practiced as it once was,
Satan worshipers and those who worship evil have been
performing human blood sacrifice since ancient times, so it
is likely that this continues to this very day among his
followers within secret communities just outside of
mainstream culture.
Judaism, on the
other hand, abhors the concept of human sacrifice,
because it is abhorrent to Elohim, as it is written: “Never give your children as
sacrifices to the god Molech. If you do, you are
dishonoring the name of your God. I am YHVH.”
(Leviticus 18:21)
(Leviticus 18:21)
It is for this reason that most Jewish people find it so
difficult to believe in Yeshua—human sacrifice has always
been associated with paganism and is strictly forbidden.
Men gather to worship God at the Western (Wailing) Wall. On close
inspection, at least 20 Torah scrolls are either being carried or are placed
on tables in the above photo.
The One True God completely forbade His people from pagan
worship customs and especially the practice of human
sacrifice:
“You
must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because
in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable
things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and
daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.” (Deuteronomy
12:31)
Knowing that God detests human sacrifice,
especially of a son or daughter at the hand of a parent,
the Jewish people naturally assume that our God would
never allow someone to die a substitutionary death the way
animals do.
This is a significant stumbling block to receiving
salvation through Yeshua the Messiah for the Jewish People.
However, the ancient prophet Isaiah revealed that long ago
God planned to lay all of our sins and iniquities upon the
Messiah:
“But
He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was
crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our
well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are
healed.
"All
of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned
to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall
on Him.” (Isaiah
53:5–6)
Women pray in the Women's Section of the Western Wall.
God did not intend for His korbanot to be performed by a
people who were determined to live lawless lives. They
were never a substitution for living in fellowship with
Him and being right-hearted.
Likewise, Yeshua’s
sacrifice was meant to restore fellowship with our
Father upon a person seeking to draw near to Him,
sincerely repenting of their sins, and accepting the
sacrifice as a free gift on their behalf.
The blood of the Lamb of God (Yeshua) takes away the sins
of those who believe in who He is, what He did, turn from
their sin, and follow Him.
God does not delight in the sacrifice but in the right
heart of the person who offers it.
All of the Hebrew prophets warned the people that
offering sacrifices without accompanying inner morality and
goodness would be in vain.
Ultimately, what God requires of each one of us
is to practice justice, mercy and humility toward God and
man.
“It
has been told to you, O man, what is good, and what the
LORD does require of you: only to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.” (Micah 6:8)
And Yeshua, who has set us free from the evil master of
sin through His death and resurrection, has given us the
power to be just, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.
As we enter the Passover season, let us prepare our
hearts and lives to put away old sins and guilt and
embrace the forgiveness and freedom that Yeshua offers us
in Him.
And let us proclaim His love to all those who are
seeking for Him but not yet finding Him.
"Proclaim the
power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power
is in the heavens." (Psalm 68:34)
"Create in me a pure
heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." (Psalm
51:10)

gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.
Many have falsely said that God is finished with His
Chosen People; however, Bible prophecy clearly states that
this will never be so. In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving
among His people to physically and spiritually restore them.
