[Avodah] Heicha Kedusha (was: Skipping Korbanos)

[Aryeh Herzig]

I once heard a cute Vort BDerech HaLatza by the Shedlitzer Rebbe (R. Weisblum) of Lakewood:

The Gemara in Nedarim talks about the Maor SheBetTorah.  Hence the Torah is called Maor.

Rashi in Tetsaveh on Kosis LaMaor says: "Kosis LaMaor VLo Kasis LaMenachoth."  

Rather squeeze the Maor - the Torah sedorim - but don't squeeze the the tefillos of Mincha (heicha kedusha, no korbanos etc.)
