Get StartedWhere Is The Soul?
The Link Between Souls And Animal Sacrifice In The Bible
When we hear the word soul, we tend to think about angelic, spiritual kinds of images. And when we think about where the soul can be found, our minds wander to some lofty, Godly realm. But the Torah has its own ideas about the soul, and it’s quite different from what we'd expect. Most surprisingly of all, this concept of the soul even has something to do with the sacrifices that were brought in the Mishkan. Join Ami as he explores these questions and finds answers that have relevance for us, even today.
