The Leviim are at the centerpiece of Parashat Bemidbar – why? We will examine selection of the Leviim and the Kohanim, and compare with the selection of Moshe. Was the selection a pre-ordained choice, something reflected in reality even before the Exodus from Egypt, or was the decisive moment afterward?
Moshe and the Leviim may have been chosen because they did the right thing when surrounded by wrongs, but Aharon may have been chosen as Kohen Gadol because he made a mistake and was an ultimate Ba'al Teshuva.
