Aliya Summary: This Aliya prescribes the procedure for consecrating
Aaron and his sons as priests. Aaron and his sons were brought to the
door of the sanctuary, they immersed in a mikvah (ritual pool), and were
dressed in the priestly garments. Moshe then offered various inaugural
sacrifices on their behalf.
The very first offering in
the Mikdash was symbolic of the Golden Calf and came as an atonement for
that sin. It's interesting to note that while the Golden Calf
experience was hurtful towards G-d, it is something not shied away from,
but rather confronted. As psychologists would attest, talking about
hurtful events help you get over it, and more importantly, forgive those
that caused it.
