The Rebbe says:
1. The basic outline of this week’s Torah portion is as follows:
The Torah first tells us about the eighth day of the inauguration of the Mishkan (the Tabernacle).
The Torah then continues and recounts how the two eldest sons of Aharon Hakohen (Aaron the High Priest) - Nadav and Avihu - died while bringing a “foreign fire” into the Mishkan.
Towards the end of the portion the Torah tells us the laws of forbidden animals and what constitutes a Kosher animal.
