With regards to the permissibility of bamos after the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed, a simple reading of the Gemara8 would seem indicate that it is dependent on the question as to whether the sanctity that was imbued in the location of the Mikdash was for all time (‫)קידשה לעתיד לבא‬, or only for the duration of its existence (‫)קידשה לשעתה‬. In chapter 51, David Hamelech states: ‫ִּכּ י ֹלא ַתַ ְחְ ֹּפּ ץ ֶזֶַבַ ח ְוְ ֶאֶ ֵּתּ ָנָה עֹוֹ ָלָה ֹלא ִתִ ְרֶצֶ ה‬ For You [Hashem] do not desire a sacrifice, that I would give it, a burnt-offering You do not want.11 This verse expresses the idea that a sacrifice per se, e.g. Thus, David concludes: ‫ָאז ַּתְּחְ ֹּפּ ץ ִזִ ְבְ ֵחֵ י ֶצֶ ֶדק עֹוֹ ָלָה ְוְ ָכִָלִ יל‬ Then You will desire the offerings of righteousness, a burnt-offering and a whole- offering.13 As the Shabbos of Vayikra leads us into Purim this year, may the joy and celebration over the eternity of the Jewish people lead us to merit the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash, the healing of our wounds, and the restoration of our national glory, which is the glory of Hashem.

In order that they would fully be able to relate to Judaism, and thereby completely disassociate themselves from other religious systems, the Torah provided a program of korbanos.1 Z The Ramban strenuously disagrees with the above approach, insisting that korbanos are of intrinsic value, playing a central role in harmonizing the cosmic spiritual forces and different levels of Creation,2 and are not merely preventative or concessional in nature.3 Harmony: Bamos and the Beis Hamikdash The Meshech Chochmah, in his Introduction to Chumash Vayikra, suggests a middle approach to the offering of korbanos, into which both of the above opinions can be incorporated, depending on the setting in which they are being offere
