When Moshe and Elazar returned back to the Bnei Yisrael, without Aharon accompanying them, the pasuk tells us: ‫ וַּיְִראּו֙ כׇּ ל־הָ֣עֵָד֔ה ּכִ֥י גָוַ֖ע אַהֲֹר֑ן וַּיִבְּכּ֤ו אֶֽת־אַהֲֹרן֙ ׁשְֹלׁשִ֣ים יֹ֔ום ּכֹ֖ל ּבֵ֥ית יִׂשְָראֵֽל‬- and the entire assembly saw that Aharon had died, and they cried for Aharon, the whole House of Israel, for thirty days (Bamidbar 20:29). Rashi (quoting Avos d’Rabi Nosson) explains: ‫ לְפִי ׁשֶהָיָה אַהֲֹרן רֹוֵדף ׁשָלֹום ּומַּטִיל‬,‫ הָאֲנָׁשִים וְהַּנָׁשִים‬.‫כל בית ישראל‬ ‫ אַהֲבָה ּבֵין ּבַעֲלֵי מְִריבָה ּובֵין אִיׁש לְאִׁשְּתֹו‬- the men and the women mourned Aharon’s death; because Aharon was one who pursued peace and promoted love between parties in a quarrel, and between husband and wife. Furthermore, the Sages teach us how very righteous and peace-loving Aharon was, and they urge us to go in his ways: ‫ אֹוהֵב אֶת‬,‫ אֹוהֵב ׁשָלֹום וְרֹוֵדף ׁשָלֹום‬,‫ הֱוֵי מִּתַלְמִיָדיו ׁשֶל אַהֲֹרן‬:‫הִּלֵל אֹומֵר‬ ‫ ּומְָקְרבָן לַּתֹוָרה‬,‫ הַּבְִרּיֹות‬- Hillel would say: Be of the students of Aharon, love peace, pursue peace, love people, and draw them close to Torah (Pirkei Avos 1:12). In the Divine promises of Bechukosai, the pasuk (Vayikra 26:6) tells us: ‫וְנָתַּתִ֤י ׁשָלֹום֙ ּבָאֶָ֔רץ‬ ‫ּוׁשְכַבְּתֶ֖ם וְאֵ֣ין מַחֲִר֑יד וְהִׁשְּבַּתִ֞י חַּיָ֤ה ָרעָה֙ מִן־הָאֶָ֔רץ וְחֶֶ֖רב ֹלא־תַעֲבֹ֥ר ּבְאְַרצְכֶֽם‬, and I will place peace in the Land, and you will lie down and no one will frighten you; I will cause wild animals to cease from the Land, and no sword will pass through your land. On this pasuk, and promise of serenity and security, Rashi tells us: ‫ מִּכָאן ׁשֶהַּׁשָלֹום ׁשָקּול ּכְנֶגֶד הַּכֹל‬- from here we learn that shalom is equal to all other brachos, and ‫אִם אֵין ׁשָלֹום אֵין ּכְלּום‬, if there is no shalom, there is nothing (Rashi, ibid). A Short Vort - Chukas 5784 (7.24) BS”D Aharon Ha’Kohen, A Man of Peace After the opening chapter of Parshas Chukas, which delineates the laws regarding death and the ashes, and ritual, of the Parah Adumah (Red Heifer, Chapter 19), the Torah turns its attention to Chapter 20 and year 40 of desert wanderings.
