Tzedakah vs. Korbanot [Temple Offerings]

Hi,

"Rabbi Elazar said: It is greater to give tzedakah than to bring every korban [Temple offering], as it is written [Proverbs 21], 'One who performs tzedakah and justice is more choice, for Gd, than an offering.'"
(Talmud, Succah 49b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
