It is clear in the Old Testament that the Israelites were to provide 5 offerings(burnt, meal, sin, trespass and peace.) I can find no place in the Bible that gives them an alternative to these commanded practices once the tabernacle was taken. What is the scriptural or legalistic justification for not continuing these practices as spelled out in significant detail in Leviticus? This has been puzzling me for some time.

When the temple was built
When the temple was destroyed the sacrifice became prayer

I'm actually discussing this very topic with someone who says that Jews have been given very specific instructions as to what to do now that these offerings are no longer done. She says that the Bible is clear although she gives no Scripture. Do you have a Scripture reference about prayer taking the place of these sacrifices?

Thanks~
