Parshas Acharei-Kedoshim (5772)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
(17:11) The pasuk explains that the Torah forbids us to indulge in drinking blood — ki nefesh habosor b’dam. The essence of the life of the animal is in the blood; life, so awesome. How can we relate to this as a beverage? And the pasuk concludes that you can use it only as a sacrifice of life itself.
We should all be zocheh to make use of our lives for the ultimate purpose for which we were put in this world. Have a wonderful Shabbos.
