You believe that Jesus was was the fulfillment of the Law, and the perfect sacrifice for man's sins. Did Jesus's sacrifice fulfill the sacrificial law of the Torah?

Torah is a reflection of G-d. Therefore it is but a shadow of the Reality of Him. It is a tree of life to Him who takes hold of it, but it is not G-d Himself.

Yeshua is not the fulfillment of Torah. Yeshua is G-d Himself, His reality in substance not in shadow. I know this is blasphemy to a Jew, but I presume you've heard it before.

So, my answer would be no, Yeshua is not the fulfillment of the sacrificial system of Torah. The sacrificial system of Torah is another pointer to Yeshua.

I hope that answers your question.

Shalom.

Really? That was not the answer I was expecting. How, then, do you understand:

Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled." (Luke 24:44)
and

For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed. (1 Corinthians 5:7)

and

But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
then to wait until his enemies should be made a stool for his feet.
For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. (Hebrews 10:12-14)

I've had these passages cited to me as evidence that Jesus was the perfect sacrifice acceptable to God to atone for all of our sins. You are the first Christian who has not claimed to me that in Jesus was fulfilled all of the Law.
