RAV KOOK ON Tzav Part 2: Appreciating Boundaries
One type of offering brought in the Temple was the korban Todah, the Thanksgiving offering:
"This is the law of the Peace offering (Shelamim)... If offered as a thanksgiving offering, then it is presented along with unleavened loaves." (Lev. 7:11-12)
Who brought this offering? The Talmud mentions several examples:
"Four need to give thanks: those who sail the seas, those who travel through deserts, the sick who are cured, and prisoners who are freed." (Berachot 54b)
Why did the Sages choose these four situations as examples of individuals who need to publicly thank God?
