Chukas: Were Aharon & Elazar Both the Kohein Gadol At the Same Time?

Okay, here's the second uh offering. If you remember in this week's in this past week says to you know in our religion there's only one way of doing things by the gentiles says there many rituals many priests but us only we only have one god one law one altar and you're 250 guys, you all want to be nah, there could only be one. Okay, that's the rule. There could only be one. Really? There could only be one. What happened by the paras? By the way, the reason why we're learning Kish this morning is because today is the special day. Today is the summer solstice. Yeah, it's the longest day of the year. So the med says that when Mushab went up to how did he know when it was day and how did he know when it was night? He didn't have a clock. So the Medra says when Hashem taught him, he knew it was day. When Hashem told him about he knew it was night. So today's the longest day of the year you have to learn extra. Okay. >> Ah so the does that mean you shouldn't learn at night. So have a with but the says it's just that when you're arranging your schedule ideally if you could schedule the during the day and at night that's ideal. Let's say you come home at night 9:30 and you're too tired to learn. So he said no I'm not going to learn anything. and I can learn cuz I don't learn so no it's just you know just when you're scheduling things if you're able to okay anyway this is a a very interesting question that inad takes up to he takes off he put them on Alazar. What is Aaron doing at this moment? When Allahar is wearing Ain's clothing. What is Arin doing at that moment? He's breathing. He has respiratory activity. He has cerebral activ. He's breathing. Then it says, wait a second. Allar is wearing the theim of the kay. So then he's a god. But Aaron's alive. Then it says in on the it's also you perfam this way and Rashi brings it and last week we only have one coang. So when so when Mosher Rabinu took off Aaron's clothing and he put them on Elazar Elazar became the kango. You can't wear by the way. How do I know? Cuz you can't wear the the big day if you're not the kayo. Can't wear them. So he must have but was arro. So maybe you could answer that. Maybe as soon as maybe as soon as Mosha took the off and Aaron already died says he put them which implies he died after put them on. No maybe means sometimes it's not in order. May he maybe he died before. Is that possible? or not. You know why? Because Rashi says on the words says, "Rashi, what do you mean take?" You can't take a person, you know. Um says took >> what, right? You can't you can't take a person. By the way, why does Rashi say? Because you can't literally take a person. Let's say I say like this. I want you to be I want you to be I want you to like chocolate ice cream. You like vanilla. So, what am I supposed to do? Take you I'm going to take you to Berrylicious. Going to put you next to the chocolate ice cream. Um I can't There's nothing I could do to make you like the chocolate. What do you mean you can't take a person? Can't take them. Don't. What is a person? A person is their das. So you could explain to them. So what does it mean? Rashi says what's the going to see your son in your position in your lifetime. That's what Rashi says. So that means Allah become the but if that's the case if become the butin was a you can't have two simultaneous says like this was to see his leadership passed on to his children you you will see it. So the uh offers uh the following idea. If you look at the medish rabba, the medish rabba asks what do you mean that Mosha put the big day kahuna on? If a co wears big day kahuna outside of the harabayas, he gets malus. Why? Because of chness. Says the medish. This comes to teach you in the was inaugurated where it says in context of putting on the big with that very lash he was told to take off the beadim. What does that mean? What is the med saying with the lash that Ain was told to inaugurate himself as cyen with that lashon he was told to go up to the mountain. So that could be understood that the same way how did Aaron become the kaying? What made Aaron the kangada? He dawned the big day kahuna by putting on the big day kahuna the bead of the kangado. He became the kangada by removing them. He was extricated from the status of being the kayen. When mobenu was mafin from his big day kahuna that removed him from the status of being in that case there was never two kahan at the same time the same way putting on the big day kahuna rendered iron mo's official removal of the big day kahuna removed his status of being a god ah so he says the the lion of the medan is that Elazar inherited the kahuna from how could he inherit it? What do you mean he inherited? So he says that when it comes to of positions, we do find let's say if the father can't serve in the post. So once Ain was mafodim once once once Ain was mafim was y the of so according to this there was never a moment in time that you're able to uh that we had two kahan the theas biguna from arin removed arin from the category of kangad Right mean that's a very big you would think once you're appointed you remain the and you're no longer until the day you pass there's no ceremony to remove the so so he's he's being mad from the medish this the same lion that Mosha used to make him that's the same lion that he told him to go up to the top of the mountain in other words this this wasn't which could also be why Moshe had to take it off of Aaron. Why did Moshaben have to take the big day off of Aaron? Why couldn't Aaron undress himself? I mean, it's a little bit unusual that Moshe has to come and get Aaron undressed. What's what's the in that? Why did Moshe say, "Okay, I'm waiting outside, you know, let me know when you finish." No, Moshe came. Moshe, but Moshe removed it. Why did Moshe have to do that? Probably wasn't a desirable job. Because the same way, the same that was used to make the lush was used to extract him from that from that status. By the way, it's interesting. Nowhere does it say in this week's para the date that Ain passed away doesn't say later on it says by the way Aram passed away on the first day of the month of A right it says on the first day of the fifth month why because it happens to be that week is so when it happens Torah doesn't say anything the Torah waits till the of throw in that by the way passed away on in order to fulfill the idea of okay have a good day everyone.
