Truth or Peace? Legislation or Arbitration? | Masei 5782
In the parasha of Masei, always read around Rosh Chodesh Av, is the only date of a yahrzeit mentioned specifically in Torah – that of Aharon HaKohen, on the first of Av.
Why is it so important at this difficult time of year to recall the life and legacy of Aharon?
Sages were already creating the solution to the problem. What is the antidote to the
causeless hatred that caused the destruction of the Second Temple?
Aharon’s legacy as the great peacemaker. Mosheh was a person of justice and truth,
while Aharon was all about peace. If Mosheh was about legislation,
Aharon was about arbitration.
