Beit Midrash
- Torah Portion and Tanach
- Vayikra
- Shmini
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.
