In the beginning of parashat Shemini, Aharon has the opportunity to offer an egel, or calf, as part of the inauguration of the mishkan as a means of closing the chapter on the sin of the golden calf. However, as soon as that situation is resolved, he is thrust into another tragedy - the loss of his two sons. In this week's episode we consider the parsha from Aharon's perspective and what it can teach us about how to navigate challenges in our own lives.
