This is how the Zohar on Vayikra and the 15th-century Italian biblical commentator Rabbi Ovadya Seforno[1] understood the wording of the verse: https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/5477/print-view 1/4 3/17/24, 9:46 PM TheYeshiva.net ‫אמנם דבר מצוי שיחטא‬... 3/17/24, 9:46 PM TheYeshiva.net Leadership is Synonymous with Sin Don’t Be Afraid to Make Mistakes Rabbi YY Jacobson 28 Adar 5778 A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.—Max Lucado When, Not If The weekly Torah portion of Vayikra (and much of the book of Vayikra, Leviticus) is about sacrifices, and though these laws have been inoperative for almost 2000 years since the destruction of the Temple, the moral principles they embody and the messages they contain are meaningful and inspiring.
