The sacrifices written in Torah to cleanse a person from sins are no longer done, what takes the place of the blood sacrifice now. Again in case this is someone else I am a Gentile in search...Doesn't all sin have to be cleansed by a blood sacrifice? Isn't that what Atones for sin? So curious as to how you feel on this question.

Oh know I just received word you didn't get my question and then I asked one that went with this letter. So I will retype this. I awoke this morniing to have my time with the Lord, and it made me cry to think that if I had a question I could come to you. Then I thought I hope this site is for anyone. Does the same person answer your questions each time? It is hard not to run one question into the other, because I was wondering on your response to Isaiah 53. What do you think that is speaking about? I know that I am a gentile, and I am not trying to use this site for anything but to get answers to my own questions. I believe in the Bible, it is a light to my path. Every Word is cherished to me. G-d created the heavens and earth and created man. Then could find none righteous but Noah and the flood came. Again the world became darkened with sin and Abraham seperated himself unto G-d. I loved that Abraham would go out and commune with G-d, and was willing to follow G-d. The things of this world did not control him. From Abraham we get Isaac, Jacob, and his 12 sons which are the 12 tribes. I love that G-d would make a covenant with Abraham and create a people group that He would love and cherish and nurture better than any parent could their child. Here after all these years later that covenant is still just as strong. The Alpha & Omega. The covenant keeping G-d. I believe in the 7 commandmens given to Noah in the Mishnah. When you say that a Ger Toshav is neither a Ben Noach nor a Jew does that mean that you still are a Ben Noach, but one who has made an even deeper commitment to know the ways of G-d. Yet you are not born of a Jewish parent so you are not actually a seed of Abraham, but if you believe his teachings and follow his G-d you become part of the family. Are "the strangers among you" ever considered apart of the family? As regarding intellect...I would not be one of the sages....my walk with G-d is based on my heart and love...As a little Girl I always loved The Lord...To learn His ways and feel His heart is my passion. I want to love people like he loved people. He would give everything to protect those that are His if we will come under the shadows of his tallit. What are the things that divide? I don't want to be divided from anyone that belongs to G-d. I love the Tallit and as a child never heard anything about them..now the Tallit is precious to me. Learning that the unmentionable name of G-d is woven into the corners and that when David says their is healing in his "wings" it is in the tallit. Amazing, Lord I want a heart like David.

Thank you again for your answers. I was wondering today about what this Ask the Rabbi organization was to maybe get information on it. I really appreciated the answer on the sacrifices, I always wondered what the opinion was on that. I think maybe you asked me not to ask any more questions on this site, and if that is the case I respect your decision. I guess I missunderstood the "where every question is taken seriously. From the beginners to the Advanced". I am just a beginner and maybe need to much help. I feel saddened. If I misunderstood and my questions are welcomed let me know. Thank you for your time.

Thank you for answering my previous question. I've got another one. I finished reading 2 Kings and was puzzled by one of the verses towards the end, namely 2 Kings 18: 4 regarding a bronze snake "that Moses had made" which was called "Nehushtan." My sister says this snake is Moses' staff that the LORD turned into a snake before Pharoah. But if that is correct, why would Hezekiah destroy it along with other pagan objects? And in 1 Chronicles 21:17, King David takes blame for trying to have a census. Why did the census offend the LORD? Is it because the LORD promised Abraham "countless" descendents, and trying to count them was a sort of insult? Thank you again for you time and trouble on my behalf. And thank you for this invaluable website.

Dear Rabbi, Can you please explain why baking dishes made of glass or metal can not be kashered? Thanks, Joanna
