By my understanding, after the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70, there was no longer a divinely mandated or approved location for such sacrifices. Instead, the rabbinical community declared that prayer, study of the Torah, and acts of lovingkindness now fulfilled the purpose of the sacrifices (although such practices did not involve the shedding of blood).
