"Sacrifices Were So Central. So Why Did they Stop?" (Lev 6-8) - Tzav - 4/8/25

Apr 8, 2025 • Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta

Why did God command a detailed, continual system of sacrifices—only for it to vanish 2,000 years ago? Did history disrupt God’s plan... or fulfill it?

In this powerful teaching from Leviticus 6–8, we explore the deeper purpose of the sacrificial system and confront a challenging question: If we can be right with God without sacrifices, why did He require them in the first place?

Discover how the timing of the Temple's destruction, the fulfillment of Isaiah 53, and the priestly role of Yeshua all converge to answer the question: Why did the sacrifices stop—and what does that mean for us today?
