Back to EpisodesR. Avi Strausberg: The Before and After - The Sudden Deaths of Nadav and Avihu
Published 3 years, 8 months ago
Description
The sudden death of Aaron's sons Nadav and Avihu leaves readers stunned and grappling for answers. By turning to a modern midrash in the form of an original short theatre piece written by R. Avi Strausberg, we attempt to pause time and make space to not only understand the motivations for their offerings, but also how their sudden deaths impacted their mother, their father, and their remaining brothers.
This session was originally delivered at Hadar's Summer Learning Retreat in June 2021.
