Acharei Mot
Dedicated in Honor of My Wife Raquel by Jo Jo Ashkenazi Parashat Acharei Mot
The Deaths of Aharon’s Sons
This week’s parasha is called Acharei Mot and begins with the passuk, “Vayedaber Hashem el Moshe acharei mot shenei b’nei Aharon bekarbatam lifnei Hashem vayamutu — Hashem spoke to Moshe after the death of Aharon’s two sons, when they came before Hashem, and they died.”
As we learned a few weeks ago, the passing of Aharon’s sons actually occurred in Parashat Shemini.
