Weekly Quiz
By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
Q—Why are the Biblical
portions concerning the daily
sacrifice read every day in
the daily prayer liturgy both
morning and afternoon?
A--In the first place, the
Rabbis contend that our daily
prayers every morning and
afternoon take the place of the
daily sacrifices which were of-
fered in the Temple of old
every morning and afternoon.
Thus to remind us of this con-
nection, as well as to keep us
bound to our past and to pro-
ject us into the future hopes of
the Restoration of the Temple,
these portions are read every
morning and afternoon. Furth-
ermore, the Rabbis maintain
that every man, in the course of
his prayer should consider him-
self ready to offer sacrifices.
Q—Why is the sacrifice of
Isaac read in the course of the
early morning prayers every
day?
A—Some consider this as an
introduction to the passages
which are read daily in the sy-
nagogues concerning the animal
sacrifices of old. Reading this
portion tells us the real mean-
ing of the sacrifices. It is actu-
ally man himself who should be
ready to sacrifice himself before
the Almighty—so all inclusive
should be his sense of total self
commitment to deity. It is only
through the mercy of God, that
we can either atone for our sins
or seek his Grace and Benevo-
lence for our needs, as the case
may be, through the medium of
another sacrifice. In the days of
the Temple this was in the
forms of animals or charity cou-
pled with the accompanying
prayers that this measure of
sacrifice be acceptable to the
Almighty. In our own days, it
is our prayers instead of the
animals, coupled with our
charity and especially our
feeling of total subservience
to His Will which brings us
either our atonement or the ful-
fillment of our daily needs.
Thus the passage of the Sacri-
fice of Isaac brings to mind that
man himself is the essential
sacrifice which the Almighty
requires. There are others who
claim that the inclusion of the
passage which tells us of the
Sacrifice of Isaac in the morn-
ing liturgy brings to mind the
basis of our claims when we
approach the Almighty through
either sacrifice of prayer. While,
we may personally be unworthy
of His Divine Grace we call
upon Him as the descendants of
the Patriarchs whose willing-
ness to sacrifice their very lives
for Him brought about the
Covenant which He made with
them, giving us the right and
the precedent to approach Him
for our daily needs and asking
him to fulfill our destiny as the
Chosen Peoplet—the descend-
ants of people like Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob unto whom he
gave His word that he would
concern Himself with us, their
heirs.
Autobiography: Hollywood
I like the streets of New York
City, where I was born, better
than these streets of palms.
No doubt, by father liked his
village in Ukrainia better than
the streets of New York City;
and my grandfather the city and
its synagogue, where he once
read aloud the holy books, better
than the village in which he
dickered in the market-place.
