What did sacrifice mean to ancient Jews? Where do the meanings of our rituals that we are taught in school come from?

Professor Jonathan Klawans is Professor of Religion at Boston University’s Department of Religion and the Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies. He has published a number of important articles on the topics of ritual sacrifice and purity in Ancient Israel, and is the author of multiple books including Impurity and Sin in Ancient Judaism and Purity Sacrifice and the Temple: Symbolism and Supersessionism in the Study of Ancient Judaism. Professor Klawans is also co-editor with Lawrence M. Wills of the recently-released Jewish Annotated Apocrypha.
