This memorandum examines the treatment of korbanot (sacrificial offerings) in Conservative Jewish liturgy, specifically addressing editorial decisions for a forthcoming High Holiday prayer book. The author employs theological and linguistic analysis to critique the approach taken in the Sabbath and Festival Prayer Book, which converted references to future Temple sacrifices into past-tense historical references. The methodology involves comparative liturgical analysis, examining inconsistencies in textual modifications across different prayers, and proposing an alternative interpretive framework. The study reveals significant problems with selective textual emendation, including inconsistent application of editorial principles and the creation of anachronistic prayers following Israel's establishment. The main finding demonstrates that metaphorical interpretation of sacrificial terminology offers a more coherent solution than literal textual revision. The author argues that terms like korban should be understood metaphorically to represent devotion to God, similar to how avodah evolved from referring specifically to Temple service to encompassing prayer generally. The research concludes that wholesale liturgical revision destroys textual integrity and creates unnecessary divisiveness, while metaphorical reinterpretation preserves classical liturgical treasures while maintaining theological consistency with modern Conservative Jewish thought. This approach allows retention of traditional texts while channeling creativity toward new liturgical compositions rather than emendation of classical prayers.
