Aaron Levie (Unit 7F, class 8) multiple-choice

כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר ה' בְּיַד־משֶׁה לֽוֹ - As God spoke through Moses (lit.) to him. לוֹ is the equivalent of עָלָיו “about him,” i.e., about Aaron He spoke to Moses that he and his sons should be priests; therefore “no layman, who is not descended from Aaron, may approach….” Likewise, every לִי, לוֹ, and לָהֶם that follows the verb דבר (“to speak”) is to be explained in the sense of עַל “concerning.” And its Midrashic explanation is that לוֹ refers to Korach. And why does it say בְּיַד מֹשֶׁה “through Moses” rather than אֶל מֹשֶׁה “to Moses”? It is an allusion to the fact that those who challenge the priesthood are punished with tzara’at, just as Moses was stricken on his hand (בְּיָדוֹ), as it says: “When he withdrew it, his hand became afflicted with tzara’at, white as snow,” 2 and for this reason, too, Uziyah was punished with tzara’at.

Alexander Hamilton, a key figure in the founding of the United States, served as the first Secretary of the Treasury under President George Washington. Aaron Burr, on the other hand, was the sitting Vice President under Thomas Jefferson at the time of the duel. The animosity between Hamilton and Burr was well-documented, stemming from political disagreements and personal slights over the years. The Duel Date and Location: The duel took place on July 11, 1804, in Weehawken, New Jersey, a common site for duels due to its less strict enforcement of anti-dueling laws compared to New York. Cause: The immediate cause of the duel was a series of letters and meetings between intermediaries after Hamilton allegedly insulted Burr at a dinner, which was later reported in a newspaper. Burr demanded an apology; Hamilton refused, leading to the challenge. The Event: On the morning of the duel, both men, along with their seconds and a doctor, rowed across the Hudson River to the dueling ground. The exact events are a matter of historical debate, but it is generally believed that Hamilton fired his shot into the air, adhering to a principle of honor without intent to kill. Burr, however, aimed directly at Hamilton, hitting him in the abdomen. Outcome: Hamilton was severely wounded and transported back to New York City, where he died the following day, surrounded by family and friends5. Aftermath Public Reaction: The news of Hamilton's death caused widespread grief and indignation. Angelica Schuyler Church, Hamilton's sister-in-law, expressed the communal sorrow in a letter, highlighting the shock and consternation that gripped the town5. Impact on Burr: Although Burr was never tried for the duel, his political career suffered greatly. He became a pariah in many circles and faced various legal and financial troubles in the years that followed. Historical Significance: The duel is often cited as a turning point in American political culture, highlighting the dangers of political rivalry and the need for civility in discourse. Conclusion The duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr remains a poignant reminder of the intense personal and political conflicts that shaped the early years of the United States. It underscores the tragic potential of unchecked animosity and the importance of reconciliation and dialogue in a democratic society.
