This week's Dvar Torah is dedicated to my nephew Ari Burg who is celebrating his Bar Mitzvah.

Aaron was one hundred and twenty three years old when he died at Mount Hor. (Bamidbar 33:37-39) As we wind down Sefer Bamidbar the Torah recounts the 42 journeys that Klal Yisrael took in the Midbar. As part of that narrative the Torah once again recalls the death of Aaron HaKohen (Aaron's death was already reported in Parshas Chukas). It is quite a curious repetition.
