Each Man His Fire Pan: On The Deaths of Nadav and Avihu (Audio)

Rabbi Chanoch Waxman

More than merely straying into the precinct at the wrong time, it seems that they may have had fatal misconceptions what it means to function as a priest, and that they had fundamentally misunderstood the connection between coming close and attention to the Divine command.
