Why is Aaron, high priest and brother of Moses, traditionally given such homage? Why are Moses and Aaron treated in Psalms as if they were equals? Isn’t it clear that Aaron is not of the same caliber? And how is it that Aaron’s leading role is whitewashed in perpetrating Israel’s worst sin, the worship of the golden calf? This side of Aaron is very disturbing. Yet another side shows his greatness, particularly his eloquent silence in the face of the tragic death of his sons (dealt with also substantially in the 1993 lecture on Nadav and Avihu). Moreover, Aaron’s supporting role with his brother Moses is exceptional in light of the antagonism characteristic of most biblical brothers. And weighing heavily in his favor is the fact that he is never seen as acting against the Jewish people.
