R. Avital Hochstein on Parashat Ki Tissa: When Moshe Leaves

from Ta Shma · host Hadar Institute

When he ascended the mountain at the end of Parashat Mishpatim, he entered the cloud, and left behind an alternative leadership structure, appointing two individuals in his stead: Aharon and Hur. Who are they, what happens to them—and what do we learn from them about the essence of leadership?
