When Ahron saw the nesi’im give their gifts for the Mishkan he felt bad that his shevet did not have a part in the gifts to the Mishkan.
He tried to size me up based on that one moment. He didn’t take into account all the effort I had been putting in.
The Gur Aryeh, Devarim 22:9, holds that when a mitzvah is done, the mitzvah that follows is similar to the original mitzvah.
Since a sukkah is a diras aray, a temporary structure, we don’t need a reminder of the dwelling place being temporary compared to Olam Habah.
All of our good deeds should be rooted in this truth that Hashem commanded us and that is why we are doing the mitzvos.
When things are tough, most times it is a reminder that we need to improve ourselves.
Isn’t it unusual for the Shechinah not to have come down immediately for Aharon after all his labors and his level of piety?
