Item Description:

Both Parshas Shemini and its Haftorah deal with proper reverence for sacred objects. The two sons of Aharon died of their "strange fire," and centuries later, King David and his wife Michal quarreled over his joyful, if not childlike, dancing before the Holy Ark. Highlighting the backgrounds of each, Rabbi Wein uncovers the roots of their difference of opinion, transforming these awesome Biblical heroes into real human beings.
