3. The "Waters of Contention"

   Rabbi Elchanan Samet

   Why didn't Moshe and Aharon merit to bring Am Yisrael into the land of Israel? This article attempts to answer this question by examining the contrast between the nation who left Egypt and journeyed through the desert, and the new generation ready to enter the land of Israel. Were Moshe and Aharon suitable to lead the new generation?

7. Aharon's Part in the Sin of the Golden Calf – From the Torah to Chazal

   Dr. Brachi Elitzur

   The discussion in rabbinical literature of Aharon's role in the sin of the golden calf, familiar to us from Rashi's commentary, is characterized by a defense of Aharon's motives and a focus on the sophistication of his strategy. The forgiving approach characterizing most of Chazal's teachings from Eretz Yisrael (as opposed to those in Bavel) concerning Aharon's role is an exception to the ambivalent evaluation suggested by the teachings surrounding the sins of other important figures. In this article we will try to trace the attitude towards Aharon's sin in the matter of the golden calf from the Chumash through the post-biblical literature, and try to understand the reasons for the development of this across-the-board defense and justification of Aharon in the period of the Mishna and the Talmud.

8. The Yahrzeit and Character of Aharon HaKohen

   Rabbi Binyamin Tabory | 16 minutes

   In this shiur, we focus on the character of Aharon in the Chumash and in the midrash. We begin by taking a look at the Torah's first presentation of Aharon, a man who rejoices for his brother even though it meant that he himself would play second fiddle. We learn about Moshe as well, as we continue to analyze contrast between Moshe and Aharon, who exemplify different -and sometimes- opposing values: Moshe represents absolute truth, and Aharon represents peace and hessed (lovingkindness). Their interaction exemplifies the verse in Tehillim (Psalms 85:11) about these different values embracing.

10. Mei Meriva

    Rabbi Yehuda Rock

    What was the sin that led to Moshe and Aharon's exclusion from entering the land? Apparently their leadership failure was apparent in the Sin of the Spies, but they were given another chance to prove they were the appropriate leaders to bring the nation to the Promised Land. The second chance presented itself in the story of the Waters of Meriva, but their second failure sealed their sentence.
