Sefer Vayikra  - From Sinai to Sanctuary to Society


Rabbi Menachem Leibtag

What makes Sefer Vayikra 'one book', why does it appear to be 'two books', and how has it become an integral part of the 'Five Books'.

Often seen as the most technical and least accessible of the Chumashim, Sefer Vayikra is frequently misunderstood as a book only about korbanot and kohanim. In this series, Rabbi Menachem Leibtag explores how Vayikra presents a unified vision of holiness—beginning at Sinai, centered in the Mishkan, and extending into every aspect of communal and personal life. Through careful analysis of its structure and themes, the shiurim will demonstrate how Vayikra serves as the Torah’s blueprint for building a sacred society.
