Why can't a lamb be sacrificed at one's home? Abraham and Jacob sacrificed wherever they saw fit to do so. As long as it's made of earth or un-hewn stones, a sacrificial altar can be anywhere, can't it?..........

After the Temple was built, sacrifices could not be brought anywhere else. However the Passover sacrifice could be made anywhere within the city of Jerusalem.
After the Temple was destroyed, the rabbis declared that prayers should take the place of sacrifices.
Over the past several years, some rabbis have decided that the Passover sacrifices may resume. This is problematic because even if some Jews bring it, then everyone is required to bring it.

Scripture forbids personal sacfices outside of the Mish'kan [Tabernacle] or the Temple environs.
