A second message in this verse lies in the redundant phrase "The children of Aharon" that follows the word Kohanim. Is it not obvious when Moshe was instructed to speak to the Kohanim that they were the Sons of Aharon? All Kohanim save Aharon himself were the only Kohanim ever to be chosen! I saw a beautiful insight from Rabbi Baruch Sorotzkin citing his father Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin that G-d is sharing with us a key insight into helping ourselves and our families overcome the test of standing out in society and having extra restrictions that separate us from the sur-rounding culture. The Kohanim them-selves had proscriptions on what they could eat, whom they could marry, where they could travel and more. That is a lot to ask of someone unless the child/person understands that this is a privilege for being who I am. Yes, it may be hard to live as a Kohen but it comes with the privilege of being a Ben Aharon - a son of Aharon. One key to helping our teenagers experiencing periods of rebellion in religion is to infuse a pride in their unique identity as a Jew. When you are proud of who you are and where you come from, it is much easier to stand out. When the Nazi's ordered the Jews to wear a Yellow Star for shame, the Jews took this symbol and wore it with pride as a badge of honor much like a Sheriff in Los Angeles proudly wears his officer's badge. Like the Sheriff, the Jew must recognize the privilege to be part of something greater than themselves and that helps infuse in each of us the strength to fulfill our mission with pride. Yes, more is expected but more is received. I am part of the Jewish people and the distinction of kosher and kippah is far more than a crimp in my lifestyle, it is my membership card in a very exclusive club - that of the Am Ha-nivchar - the Chosen Nation called the Jewish People.
