Loosely following the teachings of Pirke Avot 1:12, students learn of and begin to emulate the characteristics of Aaron, brother of Moses and first High Priest (Hakohen Hagadol) of the Israelites. Learning is pulled along by the unfolding mystery of a box filled with a variety of items. It was originally developed for 5th grade congregational program that had an hour for learning, once a week.
