Parshas Vayikra (5767)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Rashi quotes the Chazal at the beginning of Vayikra that the term ‘vayikra’ is a positive expression to the contrary of Vayiker, which is negative.  There is a very subtle and important difference between the two words.  The question presents itself—why was this sedra selected for this message?  It is not the first time this word was used in the Chumash.  This parsha, which is the parsha of sacrifices, informs us that the true fulfillment of the ideal of sensitivity of our expression can only be realized through true self-sacrifice.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
