Story of the Blasphemer
Tools The story of the blasphemer in Vayikra 24 is one of the only narratives in all of Sefer Vayikra.
Articles
- Listen to The Two Narratives of Vayikra, by R. Avraham Walfish, for comparison of the stories of Nadav and Avihu and of the blasphemer and analysis of their messages about divine and human justice and appropriate boundaries in religious life.
- See The Blasphemer, by R. Mosheh Lichtenstein, for comparison and contrast of the narratives of Nadav and Avihu and of the blasphemer as two opposite but equally inappropriate approaches to sanctity, which serve to illustrate the proper understanding of sanctifying the mundane. While Aharon's sons sin lay in their attempt to sanctify something that was not worthy of being sanctified, the blasphemer sinned in denouncing the idea that the profane can become holy.
