Rabbi Steven Wernick reflects on the tragic story of Nadav and Avihu, whose "strange fire" reminds us that intent alone is not enough—boundaries, reverence, and responsibility are essential for holiness and for safeguarding society. Drawing parallels to the Holocaust, the rise of modern antisemitism, and the misuse of power today, he challenges us to be guardians of conscience, using Jewish power not for domination, but for justice, peace, and dignity.
