The fifth chapter of Zevachim describes the precise way the korbanot were offered - with a focus on the use of the external altar - known alternatively as the מזבח הנחושת, the מזבח החיצון, or the מזבח העולה.

What is the Torah’s true attitude toward blood?

On the one hand, the blood of the korbanot in the Beit Hamikdash is sprinkled upon the altar and brings atonement. On the other hand, the blood of animals and birds schechted outside the Beit Hamikdash must be covered.

And what about the blood of Abel that cries out? The blood of the brit? “Do not stand idly by your neighbor’s blood”?

All this and more in the next episode.

Why are there 2 levels of korbanot - higher sanctity (kodshei kodashim) and lesser sanctity (kodashim kalim)? Zevachim 37a-b discusses the grouping of firstborn, tithed animal and Pesach offerings regarding the rituals related to their blood. But this grouping is indicative of a larger category within korbanot, namely קדשים קלים - the lesser sanctity korbanot. What distinguishes those korbanot from high sanctity korbanot קדשי קדשים?

What must the priest be thinking during the sacrifice? is the action enough, or does intention define everything?

Which carries more weight — the ritual itself, or the thought behind it?

And what happens when the intention is wrong? does the offering become invalid? And what exactly is pigul?

Rabbanit Shira Marili Mirvis and Rabbanit Hamutal Shoval explore how a single thought can change the fate of a sacred act.

What makes someone fit to perform shechita — halachic skill, or gender identity?

What matters more — mastering the laws and precision of the act,or the weight of tradition and communal acceptance?

And what’s the difference between halachic kashrut of the shchita—and the public trust in what counts as “kosher”?

Rabbanit Shira Marili Mirvis and Rabbanit Hamutal Shoval set out on a journey to ask: Who really gets to hold the knife — and is it possible that a woman can be a shochet?
