Description

The Dinning Room Table is "in place" of the Alter. How? It seems in three ways: 1) Opening your home and making food availble to the poor "sacrafices" part of it for others, as you did when a sacrafice was partially given to the Alter, Kohanim etc' 2) Saying words of Torah in place of the ישראל that read מעשה בראשית while a sacrafice was being offered 3) Saying Berachot before and after in place of the לויים that would say שיר של יום [Music: Mizbeach Chadash · Yehuda Green, Land of Your Soul]
