(Question: Why then don't we do korbanot today as a similar zecher?<br>
Perhaps, the theological problems of offering outside the beit<br>
ha-mikdash are greater than any benefit of zechira.)<br>

<br>We know there is a gap between Mikra and TSBP re: ayin tachas ayyin<br>In th case of Korbanos , there is a gap between the pshysical offerings in the time of the Mikdash and the recitations post-Mikdash. [Thus the minhag of reciting Korban Pesach on 14 Nissan. and te Avodah on YK Mussaph] IOwWthe mitzvos of korbanos still exists but only in the recitation form just as ayyin tachas Ayyin is only literal in the recitation form but implemented in Beis Din as only tashlumin.<br>
<br>Why does Mikra write ONEthing and TSBP DO anyother thing entirely? Rashban deals with this, and very loosely based upon his point I wil say this:<br><br>There is the Physical aspect of DOING Torah and their is the consciousnes and awareness of Torah. The literal rectiations are on a a dina dishmay level but also on a level of mind and imagination [remember Rod Serling?] <br>
<br>Bottom line: in our mind's eye we DO visualize korbanos today w/o performing them. Whether this is a Zeicher [or Zecher!] for the original or a real viable alternative is a bit fuzzy. <br><br><br clear="all">
