Description

This shiur will explore the episode of the death of Nadav & Avihu who brought a "foreign fire" on the alter on the very day of the dedication of the Mishkan. Was their death a punishment or a natural consequence? And if the sons of Aaron sinned, what was the nature of their sin? Is man permitted to break new ground and develop his own program the goal of which is to achieve "dveikus"?
