Bungle ✡️ באנגל<p>In Parsha Shemini, Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu decide to play amateur arsonists by dicking around with fire for no good reason. In doing so, they completely disregard the newly established priestly hierarchy and directly flout the painstakingly-described standard procedure of sacrifices.</p><p>They get struck down for this. Boom, death by fire. Nobody is even allowed to mourn them.</p><p>Immediately following this, Moses lays out the priestly plan for Aaron's other sons, Eleazar and Ithamar. They proceed to cock things up by not eating their sacrifice in the sacred area as instructed. Aaron steps in, all is forgiven.</p><p>Why so different? I say El &amp; It did wrong whilst trying to follow procedure, Nadab and Abihu just went rogue.</p><p>I imagine Eleazar and Ithamar as bumbling klutzes, promoted out of their brothers' malfeasance and desperately doing their best not to mess up.</p><p>Judaism is in the results business, sure, but how you get there matters.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Torah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Torah</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Shemini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shemini</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Mazeldon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mazeldon</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Judaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Judaism</span></a></p>
Oren Levine<p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/TunesOnTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TunesOnTuesday</span></a> shares another in my <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/ParshaSongs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ParshaSongs</span></a> series. "Strange Fire" was inspired by the story of Aaron's sons Nadav and Avihu, whose experimentation led to their deaths (Lev. 10). Appropriate for the High Holidays, I think. <br>Shana Tova u'Metuka (שנה טובה ומתוקה), best wishes for a sweet and successful New Year! <a href="https://ohljazz.com/2023/09/12/tunes-on-tuesday-strange-fire/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ohljazz.com/2023/09/12/tunes-o</span><span class="invisible">n-tuesday-strange-fire/</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/songwriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>songwriter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>songwriting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/composer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>composer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/lyrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lyrics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/musician" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>musician</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/instamusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instamusic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/strangefire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strangefire</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/leviticus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leviticus</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/shemini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shemini</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/roshhashana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>roshhashana</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%A9%D7%94%D7%A9%D7%A0%D7%94" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ראשהשנה</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/mazeldon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mazeldon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jewish</span></a></p>
