Parashat Emor (You shall tell)
This week's section starts with the following
words: And the Lord said
unto Moses, “Speak unto the priests sons of Aaron..."
There is another way to read this verse. (pay
attention to the punctuation) And the Lord said
unto Moses, “Speak unto the priests: sons of Aaron..."
Even though that is not the traditional way to
read it, we can learn that the message the priests needed to hear was: you are
the sons of Aaron.
Who was Aaron? He was Moses' oldest brother and
even though he was the oldest, he respected, cared for, loved and esteemed his
brother, the leader of the Jewish people.
We need to learn that following the leader with respect
and admiration is also a great example for others.
