The Parsha Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe Shemini – Aaron’s Credentials
In our Parsha Aaron is promoted to become the high priest. Previously, Moshe served as high priest in an interim role, henceforth Aaron and his descendants will serve as the nation’s emissaries before God. Why was Aaron chosen? What were his qualifications? What were the events in his life that rendered him worthy of such a lofty role? In this very special episode, we examine our Sages’ very interesting teachings on Aaron’s qualifications. We learn how Aaron was initially diffident – he was bashful and hesitant to assume the role. But Moshe nudged him forward and showed him how he was particularly suited to be the high priest. What we discover is a counterintuitive lesson about who is best qualified to lead the masses.

This PP is dedicated by the Wolbe family in honor of our new son, Yisrael Meir Wolbe. May he become a Tzadik and a Torah scholar – and just as he entered the Covenant of Abraham, may he enter Torah, the wedding canopy, and good deeds, and may he become someone who brings honor to his family, community, nation, and of course to his Father in Heaven.
