| Feb 17, 2020 at 0:21 | comment | added | Turk Hill | @Heshy I agree that its important to address the whole story and not just segments of a story. I agree with the Rambam that the garden of eden story is a parable that teaches about proper behavior. Since there was no such fruit as "the fruit of the tree of good and evil," we can understand this as a symbol for people gravitating towards good and evil ("the knowledge of good and evil"), rather than true and false. | |
| Feb 16, 2020 at 22:18 | comment | added | Heshy | I was saying that if you dismiss a question on a parable by saying that it's a parable and therefore the question doesn't matter, that's a contradiction. If it's a parable, then you have to understand every detail of the story in order to properly understand what the parable means. (I say this independent of whether any particular story is a parable or not. I'm personally not convinced either way in this case and can see either viewpoint. But this is true for parables in general.) | |

| Dec 11, 2019 at 22:16 | comment | added | Turk Hill | Rumor has it that Jews are already sacrificing animals and the priest are already performing their duties. Nevertheless, I believe the Sanhedrin will rule before we have a chance to implement korbanot when the actual temple is built. | |
| Dec 11, 2019 at 22:13 | comment | added | Heshy | But you haven't acknowledged my main point. EVEN according to R' Kook the obligation to bring korbanot is in force today. As soon as we get an opportunity we need to bring them, unless and until a proper Sanhedrin rules otherwise. | |
| Dec 11, 2019 at 20:49 | comment | added | Turk Hill | It is a minority opinion. Rav Kook is still a celebrated rabbi. | |
| Dec 11, 2019 at 19:18 | comment | added | Heshy | Ok. But the requirement to bring animals is still in force today according to everyone. There's just a minority opinion that it will end (/be drastically limited) at some point. | |
| Dec 11, 2019 at 15:26 | comment | added | Turk Hill | Yes, Rav Kook said that a Sanhedrin would use derash to ban sacrifices. In my mind, Maimonides agreed with Rav Kook. Kook said that grain will be offered instead as sacrifices, so in a sense, korbanot will be reinstated, just no with animals. | |
| Dec 11, 2019 at 11:41 | comment | added | Heshy | Even R' Kook agrees that you need a Sanhedrin to limit the scope of korbanot through a drash. So if we had the ability to bring the tamid today without being attacked, we'd be required to do it. As far as I know this is a completely uncontroversial statement. | |
| Dec 10, 2019 at 17:31 | comment | added | Turk Hill | The Q asked for an explanation of Maimonides' words. This is one interpretation. Please show or demonstrate how this does not answer the question. Thank you. | |
| Dec 10, 2019 at 15:16 | comment | added | Turk Hill | Second paragraph asks: how do we reconcile primitive worship with the reinstitution of sacrifices? We don’t. Rabbi Kook wrote how we will use derash to nullify the sacrifices, and you can it about it here. | |

| Dec 10, 2019 at 12:19 | comment | added | Alex | Even if entirely correct, this post merely supports the premise of the first paragraph of the question. But how does it answer the actual question posed in the second paragraph? | |
| Dec 8, 2019 at 17:30 | comment | added | Turk Hill | These are not only views of Reform Jews. Micah Goodman in his Maimonides books felt the same, as well as Rabbi Israel Drazin. Of course, this view is a minority view, but it exists. Additionally, Rabbi Kook also felt that sacrifices would not be reinstituted. | |
