---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dvar Torah
"V'es Ha'of Lo Basar- and the bird he did not split ..."
The halacha states that the kohen removes the head of a bird which is an olah, but not the head of a chatas.
Interestingly, the midrash tells us that Hashem told Avraham Avinu this halacha at the Bris Bein Habesarim.
Why? Why this halacha? And why now?
Rav Hirsch explains that the bird is always in fear of being caught, always fleeing and always wandering. Thus, a bird brought as a korban alludes to a man's yisurim in this world.
Using this symbolism we understand that the two different bird-offerings represent two kinds of yisurim: those that need the head, and those that don't.
A person can come closer to Hashem simply by having his aveiros erased through yisurim, even if he doesn't think about it. He doesn't need his head- he doesn't need da'as. This is the chatas. Or, he can find yisurim and do teshuva, coming close to Hashem through his head- da'as. This is the olah.
Avraham Avinu was shown that at the end of all the galuyos, Klal Yisrael would encounter tzaros and use them like olas ha'of- coming to teshuva, returning with awareness.
We should all be zoche!
Have a great Shabbos!
