n the course of bringing a sac-
rifice before the Lord, two of
Aaron's sons, Nadav and Avi-
hu, desecrate the altar by
bringing a "strange" fire; and the
holiness that is there destroys
them.
Aaron, the high priest, is
stunned by this double tragedy.
He is no longer a supremely sa-
cred figure but rather a father,
bereft of his children. Moses tries
to console him, but no words of
consolation are adequate. The
Torah states Aaron's reaction:
"Va-yedon Aharon" (and Aaron
remained silent). This is the most
eloquent silence in the entire
Bible.
One would have expected from
Aaron an outcry, protest, lamen-
tation. But Aaron did not say
anything. Indeed, in the next
chapter, Aaron resumes his du-
ties as the high priest, sharing
with Moses in the task of teach-
ing Israel how to distinguish be-
tween the pure and the impure.
We are puzzled. What does the
text mean? Aaron had every rea-
son to be grieved, to scream
against heaven. He had served
God loyally; he had been the
spokesman of Moses against
Pharaoh and now this tragic test.
His was not an irrational faith,
declaring that in the midst of
tragedy we are not meant to un-
derstand and we are forbidden to
ask questions. The text empha-
sizes Aaron's silence, I believe, as
an act of reverence for an over-
whelming sorrow. An awesome
burden had been placed upon
Aaron for which no words were
adequate.
Nor is this the only place
where man responds to God with
silence. The Psalms are filled
with words of joy and gratitude
that recount the wonders of the
Almighty. But at the end of one
of the Psalms we find a remark-
able phrase: "To Thee, 0 Lord, si-
lence is praise." When we have
exhausted the language of praise,
our silence becomes the final, ul-
timate declaration of awe that we
offer to the Sovereign of the Uni-
verse.
The psalmist helps us under-
stand the essence of worship.
Prayer is experienced in the
words and melodies offered by the
congregation, chanted and inter-
preted by the cantor. Prayer is
defined by the rhythms and ca-
dences of language and music.
But prayer in its highest and
greatest mode is our effort to dis-
cover what the Prophet Elijah
Irwin Groner is senior rabbi of
Congregation Shaarey Zedek.
heard after the storm, "a still,
small voice."
In the end, prayer means with-
drawal from the marketplace,
from the noises that distract us,
from the tumult and cacophony
of our time. Prayer is a reveren-
tial response to the stillness of the
commanding voice and the voice
within us. Thus, the synagogue
becomes a place where we are en-
abled to hear this sacred silence.
Shabbat Shemini:
Leviticus 9:1-11:47
Numbers 19:1-22
Ezekiel 36:16-38.
Abraham Joshua Heschel once
wrote: "Many are the opportuni-
ties for public speech; where are
the occasions for silence? ... It is
easy to find people who will teach
us to be eloquent. But who will
teach us to be still?"
In Chasidic lore is found the
story of a disciple who went to see
his teacher, a sage known as a
man of few words. Upon his re-
turn to the village, the followers
of the rabbi inquired of the disci-
ple, 'What did the rabbi do?" Af-
ter all, the rabbi's actions
conveyed a lesson for those in
whose presence they were per-
formed. The Chasid answered,
"The rabbi was silent and we all
listened to him very carefully."
Silence is an important aspect
of human life. There are moments
when silence bespeaks reverence,
when it enables us to face life's
mysteries with courage and stand
in awe before the unknown. 111
