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.\n– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –\nDONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.
