 “Hashem spoke to Moshe after the death of
 Aharon’s two sons, when they approached
 before Hashem, and they died”

 (Vayikra 16:1)














                                                                                                                  Why are Nadav and Avihu referred to in the Torah as “the sons of
                                                                                                                  Aharon?” They are obviously highly regarded in their own right, as it says,
                                                                                                                  “I will be sanctified through those who are close to Me.”
                                                                                                                  This can be explained according to the Gemara relating how the Satan
                                                                                                                  went in search of the location of the Torah. It is surprising that the Satan
                                                                                                                  felt compelled to search for the Torah. Also, why did Hashem cooperate
                                                                                                                  with him? The Satan knows that his entire existence is dependent upon
                                                                                                                  the Torah. This is because the kelippah is sustained by kedushah.
                                                                                                                  Therefore, when the Satan sensed the Torah’s absence in Heaven, he went
                                                                                                                  to search for its location. When Hashem perceived the Satan’s eagerness
                                                                                                                  to find the Torah, He cooperated with his search. Moreover, Hashem
                                                                                                                  wanted to teach Am Yisrael a lesson from the Satan from his relentless
