Parashat Shemini 5786: 

Understanding the Tragedy of Nadav and Avihu

In this week's Torah portion of Shemini, the tragic death of Nadav and Avihu takes place at the very moment of the greatest revelation of Divine Presence. Why? What was their 'sin?' Who were these holy men, and what can their fate teach us about spiritual longing?

 

The Torah portion of Shemini ( Leviticus 9 : 1 - 11 : 47 ) is read on Shabbat, 24 Nisan 5786 - April 11, 2026
