Parshas Chukas (5778)

by Mordechai Dolinsky

20:23– In the route going through Edom Rashi relates that there was an inner ambition to come close to Esav which caused the loos the great Aharon HaKohain, although this route was convenient and normal.

Yaakov detested Esav, some deep inner wickedness which made him repel and reject Esav,  “hoi shav”.  This was an issue related to korbanos, to the depth of the kavanos and the true Divine connection which Esav had defected and faulted in, falsehood and sheker.  Klal Yisroel should have been sensitive to this and this made them lose Aharon HaKohain who was the epitome of greatness in the Divine holiness and connection of the korban.

Have a lovely, uplifting Shabbos.
