Not My Toy Or Trophy

from Beth El of Manhattan, Two-Testament Synagogue · host Rabbi Bruce L. Cohen

Sermon Subtitle: "Limping With The Limp With Which God Has Made Us A Limper" Aaron, the first High Priest, lost both his sons early in the Exodus journey; and by the direct hand of God; and afterwards served for 40 years as the first High Priest of Israel, the central mediator between Israel and the God who had directly slain his two boys. How did Aaron's soul and spirituality survive this terrible contradiction of heart he surely "never saw coming" before it befell him? We reverently explore how God places what Rav Saul called "a thorn in the flesh" as part of the path by which God ushers "out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son." May it be for shalom.
