Why were humans originally forbidden to eat meat, and why did that change after the Flood? This talk reframes sacrifices not as primitive ritual, but as a profound spiritual system: eating, blessing, Shabbat joy, and Temple service as ways to elevate the physical world. Drawing on Kabbalistic ideas, it explores levels of creation, kosher and non-kosher animals, and how sacrifice and sanctified eating become pathways of refinement, responsibility, and closeness to God.
