Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares about how the Kohen Gadol is the closest representative on Earth to Adam Ha-rishon before the original sin (who represented perfection). Adam was not subject to death or illness and was to be eternally married to Chava (Eve) prior to that original sin. The Kohen Gadol reminds us of that in that he was restricted from marrying only someone who was never with a man before, could not be in contact with anyone (even a close family member) who dies, and could not serve in the Beis Hamikdash (the Temple) if he had a physical imperfection (parallel to an illness).
