Aaron brought offerings; his sons brought offerings too. Both offerings evoked fire from heaven. Aaron’s offering prompted a heavenly fire to consume the sacrifices upon the altar. Aaron’s son’s offering spawned a fire too. The fire rained down from heaven and killed Aaron’s two sons. When we contrast Aaron’s offerings with his sons, we find other differences. Aaron was hesitant to undertake his role. The sons of Aaron opt for boldness and audaciousness. In this fascinating and hastily recorded Parsha podcast, we learn a profound lesson that teaches us when boldness is called for, and when boldness is unacceptable and warrants an immediate divine zap.
