Our Parsha this Shabbos on the eve of Shavuot is Parashas Bamidbar, wherre HaShem asks Moshe and Aharon to take a census of the Children Of Israel in 'Bamidbar' - ' The Wilderness.'
Why would HaShem call for a census?HaShem knew how many Jews there were.So why the need to make a count of each number?
We all have things precious to us.If we make a collection of these precious things,we count how many of that precious thing we have.So is each Jew precious to HaShem .Each and every single Jew is most precious to HaShem and HaShem acknowledges the presence of every Jewish Neshoma. HaShem knew the number,as a census had been done not that long before that and miraculously,the numbers hadn't dwindled.So not only is each Jew precious,but the very fact that each Jew is precious shows in this counting that HaShem takes a very active role in keeping us as a people safe.HaShem is with us in every breath we take and if we keep HaShem's Commandments, our numbers will remain the same.
HaShem counted us in 'Bamidbar,' - ' An Owner-less Wilderness,' to show us that we,as a people,each and every one of us -counted - belong to HaShem .HaShem Took us out of Egypt and we are His .
In the humble 'Bamidbar,'-'Wilderness' we humble ourselves to our Creator,without the physical attractions that pull us away from Holy Ways.These physical trappings, are just that,'trappings' that have no long lasting value.It is only in HaShem that we are to put our faith and trust and efforts.Physical things cannot accompany the human being on his or her travels through life and death and life.It is only the Work and Spiritual faithfulness in following HaShem's Torah , that we carry with us from transmigration to transmigration.A life for G-D is true life. A life for physicalities is value-less in the eternal scheme of things.
We stand on this Shabbos on the eve of Shavuot when HaShem gave His Precious Torah to our people.This was a day HaShem awaited since before Creation. At this auspicious moment, HaShem finally brought our people into His Covenant .Each and every Jew, then, in the past and now and into the future stood at Har Sinai and received HaShem's Torah. It is on Torah , that the World lives. For this World to continue morally, Torah is needed. HaShem made the Torah and as our Midrash says, looked into the Torah and Created the World, for the Torah preceded Creation by Two Thousand Years.The Torah is Creation's Blueprint.A World without Torah is not a World.The true World is a Torah World.On this Shavuot, may you look deep into yourself and reunite with the Covenant that every Jew ,past,present and future made with HaShem and return to Him with love and obedience and faithfulness.It is within HaShem's Torah that HaShem Speaks to us.
Within the Word 'Bamidbar,' is the Hebrew word 'Medaber,' which means 'To Speak with.'
As HaShem counts each Jew in the 'Bamidbar,'-'Wilderness,' HaShem is also speaking with each Jew calling each Jew close to Him .HaShem may have spoken then, but HaShem's Voice is eternal,So HaShem's Voice that Spoke then , is still carrying through the ages ,speaking now to each and every Jew , calling each and every Jew out of the Wilderness of this physicality and into the World of HaShem .It is only HaShem's Words -'Medaber,' that can take us out of this physical value-less Wilderness and bring us to Him in total closeness.It is only HaShem through HaShem's Words 'Medaber' of 'Torah,' that carries us out of the 'Bamidbar'-'Wilderness,' and counts each special one carrying us up to Him.
HaShem carries us every day, HaShem gives us breath to live every day. Let each day and moment count toward true life and value and let us be the very Torah Light that keeps the Torah and brings this World to Heaven.
With love for HaShem, I wish HaShem with love , a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Chag Sameach with love and to all, a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love and Chag Sameach.
