Parashat Shemini: why can’t they mourn?? (Talking Parsha - Shemini‪)‬ Talking Torah

After months of meticulous work on the Mishkan, inauguration day arrives in this week's Parsha.
However, amidst the jubilation, great tragedy strikes as fire descends from the sky, claiming the lives of Nadav and Avihu.
In the aftermath, Moshe issues a startling command to Aharon, Elazar, and Itamar: they are forbidden to mourn.

These commands raise several thought-provoking questions, on top of all - how are they expected to suppress their natural human emotions and refrain from mourning the deaths of their beloved family members?
Moreover, why does this situation differ from the customary practices observed by Kohanim that should mourn the loss of one of their “7 close relatives”??

Delving deeper into this command, we uncover profound insights relevant to our contemporary challenges and what our nation has been facing the past 6 months.
