Episode Details

Join us on this episode of Everything Jewish, 10 Minutes at a Time, as we take a closer look at one of the most fascinating and underappreciated figures in Jewish history: Aaron, the first High Priest. Brother of Moses, eloquent speaker, and the man who stood at the center of the Exodus drama, Aaron played a pivotal role in the liberation of the Jewish people and the establishment of the priesthood. From his staff turning into a serpent, to his leadership during the Golden Calf crisis, to the majestic garments of the Kohen Gadol, we explore Aaron's complex legacy of peace-making, spiritual leadership, and human imperfection. In just ten minutes, discover why Aaron remains a central symbol of holiness, reconciliation, and service in Jewish tradition.
