Introduction to Korbanos (short version)
This class given in Yeshiva Achei Temimim on Sunday 5 [Chamisha Bi]Teves 5781 has a significant introduction about Chamisha BiTeves; the Siddur part of the class introduces Korbanos and connects them to Asiya (Hioda’a) and action.

Introduction to Korbanos Note: on the first page of the pdf four or five different Nuschaos appear.

Introduction to Korbanos Class One.
Class 01 Wednesday 18 Elul 5775/ September 2 2015
1) Introduction to new year, Korbanos
2) Many reasons for their recital:
A. To guarantee learning after Birchas HaTorah
B. To protect us from punishment
C. Angels of exactitude are quieted and sweetened.
D. Learning is like actually bringing the Korban, (see # G).
E. purity like children -?-
F. Even Gentiles have a notion of sacrifice and ultimately they mean אלקא דאלקייא- Hashem.
G. (see # D) it takes the place of sacrifice so completely that the Korban is not needed (at all).
H. RaMaK: it cleanses from Asiya level.
I. Arizal (until now we were cleaning filth in Asiya, now we begin) lifting up Asiya’s Pnimiyus to Godliness.

Introduction to Korbanos Class Two.
CLASS 02 WEDNESDAY 1 MARCHESHVAN 5776/ OCTOBER 14 2015
A) Repeat of the two points about Korbanos from the RaMaK and the Arizal. B) There are many things that some communities say in Korbanos that we omit:
1) Kiyor,
2) Manna,
3) Aseres HaDibros,
4) Karbanos yachid with a Yehi Ratzon [question of saying it by the Chatos etc.],
5) Mizbeach Kitores,
6) Mizbeach Adama,
7) Ma’amados
8) Musaf on Shabbos Rosh Chodesh and Yom Tov.
C) We do say three things:
1) Terumas HaDeshen,
2) Tmidin,
3) Kitores. Why do we say these three and no others?
4) Question (discussion): Do we say korbanos standing or sitting by day or (even) by night?
