Silence

Shemini | Leviticus, Vayikra | 5774

The response of Aaron to the death of his two sons, who were killed at the moment of the Sanctuary's dedication, and the lesson of silence in the face of inexplicable tragedy. Drawing on Moses's vision of Rabbi Akiva's martyrdom, the sheet teaches that spiritual silence in the face of the unknowable brings a special closeness to the Divine.
