The voluntary meal-offering is comprised of
flour, oil and frankincense. These ingredients are much less expensive than the
animals brought for the other offerings. According to the Talmud, it is for this
reason that the Hebrew word 'nefesh,' meaning soul, is used to refer to the
person bringing this sacrifice as opposed to any of the other voluntary
sacrifices. For when a poor person chooses to give from his meager means to
God, God considers it as if he is offering Him his soul. What matters to the
Lord is not our material wealth, how much we have or even how much we give, it
is the sincerity behind our actions that means most. When you give to the poor
with true sincerity, you are really giving to God by caring for His creations.
This holiday season, Meir Panim is going above and beyond to provide Israel's
needy with festive meals, clothes and necessities.
