OU TORAH The Difference Between Tzav and Vayikra Rabbi Menachem Leibtag

Is Parshat Tzav simply a repeat of Parshat Vayikra? In the following shiur, as we undertake a ‘tedious’ study that will explain how and why they are very different – we will also arrive at several conclusions that will help us appreciate why we eat ‘kosher’ meat. Introduction In both Parshiyot Vayikra and Tzav we find an organized set of laws concerning each of the five basic categories of korbanot: OLAH, MINCHA, CHATAT, ASHAM and SHELAMIM. However, in each Parsha, the order and detail of their presentation are quite different.
