Description

Following the Chanukat HaNesi'im in the latter section of Parshat Naso, the mitzva of lighting the menora is given to Aaron at the beginning of Parshat Bahalotcha. In this shiur, we will study the Ramban's unique answer to the question: why was this mitzva chosen by HaShem to console Aaron following his despair over his non-participation in the Chanukat HaNesi'im?
