Pre-Pesach British Museum Tour With Rabbi Dr Raphael Zarum, Dean of LSJS
Time: 10:00am
Sacrifices were so central to the functioning of Jewish society and much time is dedicated to it in the Torah, but it is exceptionally difficult to relate to in today’s society.
There is a fascinating debate between Rambam (1135-1204) and Ramban (1194-1270) as to the meaning of sacrifices.
Rambam explains that God commands us to offer sacrifices as a concession to religious concepts of the ancient world.
Ramban vehemently disagreed, objecting to sacrifices being perceived as a response to pagan worship.
