Parashat Beha'alotecha 5778: Maximizing The Potency Of Mitzvot - Rabbi Leeor Dahan

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Leeor Dahan’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Hakadosh Baruchu, a special mitzvah that was specifically uniquely designed for him, for the Kohen Gadol at that time, and for the Kohanim Gedolim of later generations. And the Torah gives us a little bit of a background that uh last week we finished off the parashah, parashah Nasso, we talked about the Nesi'im. And the Nesi'im were the leaders of Am Yisrael. Each tribe had their own leader, and each one brought a korban in honor of the Chanukat HaMizbe'ach, in honor of the establishment of the Mishkan, the inauguration of the Mishkan. They brought korbanot, and they Mishkan. They brought korbanot, and they brought different things, donations, sacrifices. There was one shevet that did not was not commanded to was not and did not bring a korban, and that was shevet Levi. The shevet of Aharon. Aharon, so so to speak, felt bad. He felt bad for himself that he didn't have that opportunity, but more so for his shevet that maybe chas v'shalom as a result of the sin of the chet ha'egel or something else, Hakadosh Baruchu was upset at him and didn't want his korban. He wasn't interested. He wasn't interested. And Hakadosh Baruchu compensated him, and he said, "Don't worry. You're going to receive something that no one else is going to have. Your shevet is going to be special in ways that no other shevet is going to be. And that is going to be the menorah." And that's how this week's parashah starts off, Behaalotecha et HaNerot. You're going to be the one to light the menorah in Beit HaMikdash eventually, and in the Mishkan when they were in the desert. Okay, Aharon is okay with that. He does it, and the Torah points out Vayaskan Aaron, and Aaron fulfilled the mitzvah
