1. Torah and the Kingdom of Priests [audio]

   Rabbi Chanoch Waxman | 22 דקות

   Why does our parsha repeat the list of instructions relating to offerings (korbanot) in a very similar way to the one found in Parshat Vayikra? What is the significance of the striking differences between the list? Examining these similarities and differences highlights the dialectic of worshipping God: the importance of priests performing rituals along with the individual religious quest.

2. The Yom Kippur Service

   Rabbi Yair Kahn | 12 דקות

   The tragedy of Nadav and Avihu highlights the tension between the concepts of the “thirsting for the living God” and “No man shall see me and live”. Our parasha continues from where Shemini left off and prevents the tragedy from recurring by emphasizing the importance of the ketoret (the incense cloud) as necessary in the Kohen Gadol's entrance to the Holy of Holies, as the steps of the Yom Kippur Service are presented.
