Question: From the point of view of all religions, there have always been sacrifices of plants and animals. Several thousand years ago, there was even a Temple in the State of Israel where animals were sacrificed. How should we relate to it?

Answer: Simply like it is—that it was necessary to sacrifice inanimate, vegetative, and animate, and as if to atone for one’s guilt by it. But in fact, this was done for a person to understand what the real sacrifice is.

It comes down to a person not to kill another but to limit himself, his animate, vegetative, or inanimate nature so as to use it sacrificing his feelings, his desires, his intentions, and thus correct himself.

But since people could not fully realize this or do it inside themselves, the sacrifice began to manifest itself in external actions. It existed among all nations, all religions, all communities.
