Ahron blesses the people and the entire nation and rejoices. But the excitement comes to an abrupt halt: Ahron’s two eldest sons, Nadav & Avihu, are consumed by a Heavenly fire & die in the Mishkan while offering "strange fire" on the Mizbeyach as part of the Ketoret offering.
Ahron is dumbstruck by the events, & then is told by Moshe that Hashem is sanctified through the sacrifice of His holy ones.
Ahron is then told that Kohanim may not enter the Mishkan while intoxicated.
The Parsha concludes by delving into the laws of Kashrut & various laws of tumah, ritual impurity.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
