In this week's parsha, we learn about chukim, laws that do not have reasons of which we are aware. Despite this, it is important to follow them. Additionally, we learn how important it is to follow God's exact instructions (and not to deviate from them). We also learn how to conduct ourselves in our own lives. We should strive to be like Aharon HaKohen, the High Priest, who was a rodef shalom. To be a rodef shalom means to pursue peace, and to try to help people reconcile with one another. It was due to this quality that Aharon was so beloved by Bnei Yisrael.
