Get StartedSocial Justice...And Sacrifices?
What Do Sacrificial Laws Teach Us About Social Justice?
This week's parsha includes social justice laws – leave some crops for the poor, etc. – right next some very detail-oriented laws relates to animal sacrifices. What's the connection between these two sets of laws in Leviticus? How does sacrificial law help us understand the Bible's lessons on social justice?
