Why was Aharon dejected when the tribal leaders brought dedication offerings, since he performed all Temple service anyway? The shiur explains that Aharon craved voluntary closeness beyond prescribed ritual, but Hashem's response about the menorah teaches that foundational mitzvos outweigh spectacular gestures. This memorial for Rav Yaakov Weinberg applies this principle to authentic Torah learning versus flashy inspiration.
Why does the Rambam place the laws of fast days outside hilchos teshuvah when their purpose is repentance? The fast days represent a different type of teshuvah — not to erase sin but to remember it. This constant awareness of what we lost propels us toward a stronger relationship with Hashem.
