Hey there, and welcome back to Take One, the podcast that brings you just one sober page of Talmud each day.

And on today's page, Zvachim 115, we get what my late great teacher, Reb Leonard Cohen, so aptly called a manual for living with defeat.

What to do when things go south?

I don't mean that in the minuscule, merely annoying way, like stubbing a toe or missing a train

or getting stuck in terrible traffic.

I mean it in the grandest, most terrifying way imaginable.

How ought we to continue and live when terrible things happen to us or to people we

love? Today's duff has an answer, and it is as awe-inspiring as it is gorgeous as it is almost

impossible to fathom. Have a listen. But according to the one who says that the command for the priests to sanctify themselves

is referring to the separation of the firstborn, where is the allusion to the fact that God

would be sanctified through Nadavina Vihu, Aaron's sons who famously die?

The Gamar replies, as it is written, and there I will meet with the children of Israel, and it shall be sanctified by my glory, Exodus 2943.

Do not read it as by my glory, bichwudi, rather read it as by my honored ones, be mechubadai.

God will be sanctified by those considered honored by god when he reveals himself

in the tabernacle the holy one blessed be he the tom would continues said this statement to moses

but moses did not know its meaning until the sons of aran died once the sons of aran died

moses said to him, Aaron, my brother,

your sons died only to sanctify the name of the Holy One, Blessed Be He, when Aaron knew that

his sons were beloved by the omnipresent, he was silent and received a reward, as it is stated,

and Aaron held his peace, Vey Dome, and he was silent.

And likewise, in a verse written by David, King David, it states,

resign yourself, Dome, to the Lord, and wait patiently, and He Cholel for him.
