SF - The Courage to Change

The journey is beautiful

In Parshas Shemini (Leviticus 9), the Torah tells us that the Holy One consecrated Aaron to serve as the High Priest in the Tabernacle. Moses instructed Aaron to bring a young bull for a sin-offering. The significance of the “young bull” was to convey to Aaron that through this offering, he would be forgiven for his role in the sin of the Golden Calf (Rashi, Leviticus 9:2). When Aaron saw the altar, he imagined it as “the image of an ox,” and fear seized him because of his involvement in the sin of the Golden Calf. Therefore, Moses came forward and encouraged Aaron to strengthen himself, approach the altar and offer the calf — and attain the Holy One’s forgiveness (Ramban, Baal HaTurim, Leviticus 9:7-8). We understand from Aaron’s initial hesitation that it is human nature for a person to be overwhelmed by feelings of remorse when engaging in Teshuvah (Repentance).
