The Torah-section we'll read this Shabbat, after describing a climax of Holiness, relates the tragic story of the death of Nadav and Avihu, two of Aharon's sons. We don’t know what Aharon's first reaction was, but we know that after Moshe told him: Moshe said to Aharon: It is what God spoke, saying: Through those permitted-near to me, I will be proven holy, before all the people, I will be accorded honor.
" Aharon was silent".
Was his silence deliberate? Or, maybe he wasn't able to express his feelings with words?
I guess that when we are in touch with tragic situations, all of us can be Aharon; not finding the words or being reluctant to use them.
Shabbat Shalom to all.
