What Was the Greatness of Aaron?
“Aaron did so; he lit the lamps toward the face of the menorah” (Numbers 8:3). We contrast a chassidic and a non-chassidic interpretation of this verse in order to highlight the revolution that chassidic teachings have brought to our understanding of G-d, Torah and our fellow Jew.

Rabbi New How does Talmudic halachah fit into the chassis paradigm you have gifted us with What Was The Greatness Of Aaron ?
Thank you for your comment Stephen. Indeed the praise of Aaron is that he did observe the precise, specific demands of the Halacha despite him being totally overwhelmed with the appreciation and experience of being connected with G-d - who is beyond all limitations and boundaries.
