Vayikra 5781: Because I Want to: The Semi-Regimented Spiritual Models of Olot, Menachot and Zevach Shelamim

The rabbis tended to focus on the communal daily Tamid sacrifice as a spiritual model for prayer, but Vayikra puts the individual voluntary sacrifices front and center. By doing so, the Torah emphasizes the importance of choice and volunteerism in Jewish spiritual practice.
