The Shabbos Parsha is Parashas Nasso . This Sedra begins by teaching us about Levi's Son Gershon's Tribal responsibilities , of what they are to " Nasso " - " Carry . " In the previous Parsha , we discussed what the Kohathites ( Levi's other son's Tribe ) carried and so here in this Parsha , we mention what Levi's other son's Tribes ( Gershon and Merari ) " Nasso " - " Carried . " In this Parsha , we also learn about the Nazarite and so the Haftorah for this Parsha is in Shoftim - Judges 13 : 2 - 25 , which also speaks about a son who will be born to the Tribe of Dan , who is to be a Nazarite , the famous Shimshon Samson . In this Sedra , HaShem Tells Moshe To " Nasso " - " Take " a census of the sons of Gershon according to their Father's household and families from 30 years of age and up to 50 years of age And HaShem Tells Moshe what their task is to be , to carry the curtains of the Tabernacle and The Tent of Meeting , It's Cover and the Tachash ( which some Rabbinical opinions say is a unicorn ) cover , the Screen of the Entrance of The Tent of Meeting , the lace hangings of the Courtyard and Altar , their ropes and all utensils of their service and they are to be under the authority of Aharon's son Ithamar . HaShem Tells Of the count to be made of Merari's Tribal families , from 30 years of age and up till 50 and their work which will include the carrying of the planks of The Tabernacle , It's bars and pillars and sockets , the pillars of the Courtyard all round and their sockets , pegs and ropes for all the utensils and work and the Tribal families of Merari , will also be under the authority of Aharon's son Ithamar . HaShem Then Commands the Children of Israel That they shall remove from the Camp , all with tzaraas , all who had a zav emission and all that are contaminated by a human corpse , whether male or female , they are to be expelled to the outside of the Camp . The underlying essence within this Sedra is certainly also one of Purity . HaShem Then Commands That if a man or woman commits a sin , in reference here to theft , they are to confess their sin and make restitution for their guilt in it's principal amount and add also a fifth to it and give it to the one they indebted . If the one they wronged is not alive and has no kinsman , then the debt is paid to HaShem , by giving it to the Kohein . HaShem Then Discusses the Laws of the Sotah , the wayward wife , who is unfaithful to her husband . The Law of the Sotah and being faithful Is So Important To HaShem , That HaShem Will even have His Own Name erased in order to ensure purity in our Nation . Purity and Tznius and Modesty and Family Purity and Faithfulness , between husband and wife , so important is faithfulness between couples , To HaShem . Just As HaShem Wants us To Be Faithful To Him . But what is the Law of the Sotah ? If any man has a wife that goes astray and thus commits treachery against him , which is like committing treachery against HaShem , this man can bring this case up for judgement . In this case , the Testing of the Sotah will only show itself if the man himself has been pure and faithful himself and if he has treated his wife correctly as far as him not straying , as is taught in Gemorrah Sotah . The case can be brought against the wife , if the husband suspects his wife of being carnally with another man , where it was hidden from the husband , where she became secluded with the other man and where , in this seclusion , she could have become defiled , but not forced , but there was no witness against her defilement , So That Only HaShem Would Know . This negative action alone , would cause a spirit of jealousy to reach the husband . The husband has to first warn his wife about this man , for she should not seclude herself with any other man but her husband . Such is the holy Jewish way of Purity between husband and wife , that she only be alone with her husband and he is only to be alone with his wife . Such Jewish Laws are explained among the Laws of Yichud and these Laws prevent seclusion of either gender with the opposite gender , when not married . In the case of the Sotah , the husband is to bring his wife near and stand her Before HaShem and thus before the Kohein . The husband is not to have any physical relations with her after he accuses her , before she is tested with the Waters of the Sotah . If he does so , she is not tested and he forfeits the test . The man is to bring his wife to the Kohein and an offering with his bringing her , the offering is to be the offering of jealousies and so , frankincense is not to accompany the offering , for it is not a positive kind of occasion as an offering and is not to be sweetened with frankincense . The offering is to be a tenth - ephah of barley flour , a meal offering of remembrance and reminder of iniquity . The reason that barley flour was chosen , was that barley flour is the lowest form of flour and is usually used as animal - feed and is thus representative of such a low and physical action of adultery , where animals do not engage for holy spiritual reasons , for adultery is totally unholy and thus is a show of how she let her physical carnal animalistic desires come to the fore . She shall stand before the Kohein and he shall adjure her many times and try to persuade her to admit her guilt , for if she does admit her guilt , the Sotah test does not need to be performed . She is dressed in a way that is low physically , for she let her lower physical desires rule her . Where before , she used her physicality to attract the other man , now she is dishevelled and made to look as unattractive as possible . The Kohein shall then take the Sacred Water in an earthenware vessel ( representative of her earthly unholy physical desires ) and the Kohein shall take from the earth that is on the floor of the Tabernacle , ( in Temple times , there was a specific tile in the Temple floor that could be lifted and earth taken from there ) and put it into the Sacred water and the woman shall be stood Before HaShem and her hair uncovered , as she did for the other man that was not her husband and upon her hands , that she used for cheating on her husband , shall be put the meal offering of remembrance - a meal offering of jealousies , while in the hand of the Kohein shall be the bitter waters that cause curse . The Kohein shall adjure the woman to try and have her confess , asking her the words pertaining to this stage of the test , that are written in The Holy Torah . The Kohein shall then adjure the woman with the oath of the curse and repeat the words that are written in The Holy Torah that if she was unfaithful , she shall be rendered a curse and oath to her people ( for her name will always be connected with her adulteress actions from then on ) , When HaShem Causes her thigh To collapse , that she lay with , near the other man and her stomach To distend , that she used to eat delicacies and drink wine with the other man to entice him . The Kohein repeats this and she is to answer two Ameins . The reason that she answers two Ameins , is for the man she is standing accused of being with and in case she was with any other man , that is not known of by the husband . The Kohein shall then inscribe these curses that are written in The Holy Torah , on a scroll and erase it into the bitter waters . It is here , Where HaShem Is Letting His Holy Name be erased , which shows How Important Is Fidelity and Faithfulness To HaShem , between husband and wife . The Kohein shall then take the meal offering of jealousies from the woman's hand and wave it Before HaShem and he shall offer it on the Altar . The Kohein shall then scoop up from the meal offering , its remembrance and cause it to go up in smoke on the Altar . The woman is then to drink the bitter waters . If she has committed treachery against her husband , the waters will come into her for bitterness ( for the bitter action that she did ) and her stomach will distend and her thigh will collapse and this woman shall be a curse amid her people . But if she had not become defiled , she is pure and will be Blessed To Be Given seed - offspring . The man with whom she was with , if she did commit adultery or was unfaithful to her husband , will get the same fate instantly as she gets , no matter where he might be . Even if she was innocent , the very fact that she isolated herself with another male , is not how the purity of our people are to be and so , she brought upon herself , the test of the Sotah . It once happened that a woman had committed adultery and she had a twin sister . They thought they could trick the test , by swopping places , by the other twin sister who had not been involved in the Aveirah , taking the Sotah Test . Her twin was obviously proved innocent . But when she went back to the city where her twin sister , who was the one that had committed the defilement and deceit against her husband , was waiting for her , when both sisters , in happiness for thinking they had gotten away with it , hugged and kissed each other , the waters of bitterness , passed from the twin sister , to the real wife and she died with all the curses of this Test , at that very moment . After a time , when the Jews were living in later Temple times , the people became less and less holy and so were not even worthy of this test , for so many were not pure as they should be and so the test was stopped . HaShem Values So Very Much , Purity within us . We Jews are to be a Pure people Unto HaShem and not engage in the practices of the other nations that were in Canaan before we came into the Land . We are to be a Holy people , Modest and Always Pure and Holy Unto HaShem . Unfaithfulness to one's spouse is unfaithfulness to HaShem , Who Blesses Couples with their partner . One who can be unfaithful to a partner , will be unfaithful to HaShem . This fact , the Prophet Hosea talks of a lot in his Book in the Tanach . The Holy Torah then discusses the Laws of the Nazarite , akin to the Haftorah of this Sedra . The Nazarite is one who chooses to live a holier life , abstaining from wine and grapes . All the days of his Nazarite vow , he is not to go near these products and he shall not cut his hair and not come near a dead person . Thus he chooses to take this upon himself , so as to grow Spiritually in Holiness , the Laws like a Kohein Gadol . This portion of the Nazirite is mentioned in the Torah after the Laws of the Sotah , for both deal with Purity and like a woman who used wine to entice her adulterer , the Nazirite does the opposite and abstains from wine . Should the Nazirite become contaminated during his Nazirus period , he shall perform the sacrificial offerings and again begin the term of the Nazarite from the start . The Holy Torah also explains what the Nazarite is to do at the completion of the term . The idea of a sin offering also being brought by the Nazirite , has a specific purpose . Even though the Nazarite was trying to abstain for holy reasons , HaShem Gives us What He Does , even physically for enjoyment , that we consume , according to what is allowed , for us to partake of His Bounty . When we prevent ourselves by choice from partaking Of What HaShem Has Allowed us , we are actually depriving ourselves From What HaShem Allowed us And Made For us to partake of And HaShem Knows Better . We Should thus be able to control ourselves and our desires in this World , no matter how we are tested . Holiness must always reign supreme . Also , as Ramban tells us , the Sin Offering is for the return to the physical , which are very short - lasting pursuits in this World , which this person now returns to , after completing the term . Torah Then Tells us of the Holy Priestly Blessings which the Kohanim are to say when they Bless the People . The Priestly Blessing is in three verses , which the Kohanim nowadays say on Yomim Tovim , in the Shul . Originally the three verses were said as one long verse , by the Kohanim and the people , whom the Kohanim are to face with their hands raised and fingers split in the way Halacha teaches . This was originally said with us saying a single Amein after the full Blessing was completed . Now we say an Amein after each verse . The hand positions of the Kohanim , were done so that there would be five openings between their fingers and two on the outside , making seven like Moshiach and the holy number seven . HaShem's Shechinah Would Filter Through these gaps and thus , Through the Kohanim , who stand before us with no shoes out of respect and so , we would thus be Blessed By HaShem . The three verses in the Priestly Blessing are like the three days before Shavuot That HaShem Gave us to prepare For HaShem's Revelation ; the three months from Nissan to Sivan ; when we received the Torah in Sivan on the Sixth of Sivan ; the three parts of Jewry being the Kohanim , Levi'im and Yisroel ; the three parts of the Pesach Seder we are to mention of the Matzah Maror and the Pashcal Lamb And three also represents HaShem , the wife and the husband , coming together to bring the newborn child . There are many other threes in Judaism , but these were just a few examples , representing the holiness within all of Judaism and within the three verses of the Priestly Blessing . In days of old , the Kohanim would say the Priestly Blessing every day and then it became only on Shabboses and Yomim Tovim . Now we have it on only Yomim Tovim . The Holy Torah then continues with the offerings brought by each Tribe by their Leader , on the Day that Moshe finished erecting the Tabernacle and anointing It , Sanctifying It and all It's Utensils and the Altar and all It's Utensils . Moshe had erected the Tabernacle and then taken it down on each day that he officiated , but on this day it was set up as a permanence . We note that each Tribe Miraculously brought the same things . This was a Miracle , for each Tribe thought at the same moment , to bring the same things , without knowing what the other Tribes would bring . Each Tribe had its common reason as well as it's own personal reason for bringing what it brought , in the numbers of each item that it brought , that had a common purpose with the whole of Israel , as well as a personal reason that had something to do with that particular Tribe , in It's history . Also , each Tribe's Offering In The Holy Torah was repeated , even though it was the same as each other Tribe , For HaShem Was Showing That each Tribe's Offering Was So Very Special To HaShem . As an example , the weight of the one silver bowl was 130 shekels , which was , as Ramban tells us the age of Adam ha Rishon , when he had his child Seth Shais , in the Book of Bereishis . The one silver basin was 70 shekel in the sacred shekel , like the number of Moshiach and of the 70 nations in the World . The gold ladle of 10 shekels , was like The Ten Pronouncements That HaShem Pronounced In Creating Creation and also The Ten Commandments . As Ramban says , the word " Ka'arat Kesef " for the " Silver Bowl " comes to 930 in Gematriah , which was the age of Adam ha Rishon , when he passed away . As Ramban tells us , the 5 rams , 5 he-goats and 5 sheep in their first year , as given by all the Tribes and also given by the Tribe of Yehudah , comes to the number 15 , which were the number of Kings between Rehoboam and Zedekiah . So each and every thing in HaShem's Holy Torah , Has Its Very Deep and Very Holy Reason . At the end of the bringing , all is totalled , for the dedication of the Altar after it was anointed . When Moshe came to The Tent of Meeting , to speak To HaShem , Moshe heard HaShem's Voice Speaking To him From the top of the Cover , that was on The Ark of The Testimony , between the two K'ruvim - Cherubim And HaShem Spoke to Moshe . Here ends the Parsha . The Parsha is called " Nasso " - " Take " but the word " Nasso " also means " Carry and Lift . " When we bring Offerings To HaShem , or do HaShem's Mitzvos , we " Lift " ourselves up To HaShem And So HaShem " Carries " us To Him . We are in this Physical World to " Nasso " - " Raise " our Spiritual levels and be At One With HaShem . ln this World , we are here to gain merit . We are not here to just waste our lives on empty Physical pursuits . This is what we can also learn from the Laws of the Sotah in this Sedra and also from the Laws of the Nazarite in this Sedra . Our lives are not just for a momentary value-less pleasure or lifetime of song and dance . We are here To Gain HaShem's Favour . We lost That when we were forced out of Gan Eiden after the Aveirah And HaShem , Every Day Gives us The Opportunity To Go Back Home . In Gan Eiden , HaShem " Nasso " - " Carried " For us , every need . Whatever we needed was there for us To Be Gifted With From HaShem . That Is HaShem's Love In Creation . We made the errors . We did the wrongs . We did not listen To HaShem . And till today , we still disobey . We still want to do our own things and we still want our own way and we really do not appreciate The Wonderful Miracles Of HaShem's Laws , for our benefit , to be our Pathway Back Into Gan Eiden , Where HaShem " Nasso " - "Carries " us In His Love . We can see By HaShem's Abundant Creation , Just How Much HaShem Loves us And Really Wants To Bless us With So Many Things That HaShem Wants To Give us . All we need to do is to listen To HaShem . HaShem Asks This , For our sakes . HaShem So Desires To Bless us With All Of His Goodness And Bounty Within Creation . The very word " Nasah " means " High and Lofty " ( Silverman's Dictionary ) . This is what The Mitzvos Of HaShem Give us . To bring ourselves On High And Be At One With HaShem . Every time we give of ourselves in doing What HaShem Wants , we " Nasso " - " Take " ourselves higher . HaShem Wants To Carry us . We need to Obey Him And Let Him " Nasso " - " Carry " us To Him . We need to be a part of completing the Beauty around us , By obeying HaShem Whole - heartedly and so take the final step into Gan Eiden And Shamayim . The Gematriah of the word " Nasso " is 50 + 300 + 1 = 351 and 3 + 5 + 1 = 9 , the number before 10 , where 10 is the number of completion . This teaches us That Doing HaShem's Mitzvos , Is The Step Before " Nasso " - " Taking " ourselves Up To HaShem And Letting HaShem Carry us Into Olam Habah , The World To Come in Gan Eiden and Shamayim . If we take the letters of " Nasso " and put them backwards , we get " Ashan " which is the root of the word " Ashanav " which means " Window . " ( Silverman's Dictionary ) So our Very Obedience Of Doing HaShem's Mitzvos , Opens The " Window " Of HaShem's Shamayim Heaven oT us And Also Allows HaShem's Beautiful Rays Of Light To Shine Upon us , Through HaShem's " Window " Of Shamayim . We cannot possibly imagine The Beautiful Merit In Each And Every Mitzvah that we do . We are not , in this Physical Realm , on a level to fully appreciate the Amazing Value Of Each Mitzvah Of HaShem . Only when we have Done What HaShem Wants From us And Raised our level to Holy Heights , will we be able to appreciate How Truly Wonderful And Magnificent Is Each Mitzvah Of HaShem And How Each Mitzvah " Nasso " - " Carries " us " High " And Opens For us , HaShem's " Window " Into His Closeness And How , Through That Holy " Window , " HaShem's Rays Of Warmth And Light And Love Shine Upon Us And Bring us Close , " Nasso " - " Lifting " us And " Nasso " - " Carrying " us Into The Beautiful Arms And Hands Of HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu , HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Ever Most Eternally Beloved HaShem With Immense And Beautiful Forever Love , A Very Sweet And Most Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh With So Very Much Love and to all of my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Very Sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh With Love .

I dedicate this post to my beloved Abba a"h . May HaShem Forever Bless my beloved Abba's a"h dear precious Neshoma and Give my beloved Abba a"h rest in Gan Eiden and Shamayim . This Shabbos comes out on the Second Day of Shavuos . Shavuos starts on Yom Shishi and continues in the diaspora into Shabbos , as the Second day of Yom Tov . It was on the 6th of Sivan , on the day of Shavuos , that our special Dovid Ha Melech passed away and so we read the book of Ruth on the second day of Shavuot in the diaspora , which comes out this year on Shabbos . May Dovid Ha Melech's Neshoma be truly Blessed for peace in Shamayim . It Was On The Day Of Shavuos That HaShem , After Holding The Holy Torah And Waiting For 26 generations Since Adam , Revealed Himself On Har Sinai And Gave us The Ten Commandments . We arrived at the Wilderness of Sinai on the 1st day of Sivan And Received The Revelation From HaShem And The Ten Commandments On The 6th Of Sivan , which was a Shabbos at the time . HaShem Chose Har Sinai as the Mountain On Which To Come Down To us , as it was the most humble of Mountains . When the other mountains heard That HaShem Was Going To Come Down On a mountain , they all clambered to be the Mountain That HaShem Should Choose , but Har Sinai did not , feeling itself unworthy to be the Mountain For HaShem To Come Down On . The other Mountains had been used through different times for other nations' idol worship , but Har Sinai had not And So HaShem Chose Har Sinai As His Place Of Revelation . Har Sinai , in Torah , actually has been called by five different names . It has been called Sinai for on it was the thornbush where HaShem First Called Moshe , ( In the voice of his Father Amram ) , To Speak To Moshe About going to Mitzrayim , When HaShem Told Moshe To take off his shoes , for the ground on which he was standing , Was Holy Ground . HaShem at that time Had Spoken To Moshe For seven days . In Hebrew , the thornbush is " S'neh " and seeing that it was on this very Mountain That The Ten Commandments Were To Be Given , the Hebrew Letter Yud ( which is ten in Gematriah ) was added to the word ' S'neh ' and so did " Sinai " become the name of this Mountain . This Mountain was also known as " Tzin " Because On It , the " Tziva / Mitzvot " - " Commandments " Were Given By HaShem . This Mountain was also Called " Kadeish , " For On It , A Most " Kadosh " - " Holy " Revelation Took Place , Where HaShem Revealed Himself On It And Gave us The Holy Torah . This Mountain was also called " Kedeimos " from the root " Kedem " which means " from of old and ancient times , " for this Mountain Was Set From the time of the beginning of Creation , By HaShem Knowing It would be humble , To Be The Mountain On Which HaShem Would Reveal Himself . It was also called " Paran " for within this word , is the word " P'ru , " which means " to be fruitful , " For On this Mountain , Would HaShem's Fruitful Laws Be Given That Can Bring us To Shamayim . HaShem Told Moshe To have us purify ourselves for two days before Shavuos and so Moshe , knowing HaShem's Inner Intentions , had us purify ourselves for three days . The people wanted to hear HaShem Speak Directly To them And HaShem Granted their request . HaShem Lifted the Mountain Above our heads And Asked If we will keep His Torah . We answered at first " Na' aseh " - " We will do . " At a later time , we answered " Na'aseh Ve Nishmah , " - " We will do and we will listen , " first saying we will do first , before we even heard what we are accepting . Such was our Faith and Love In HaShem . The other nations were also offered The Torah . Amalek refused It because they would have to keep the Commandment of not killing . Ishmael refused It because they would have to keep the Commandment of not stealing . The other nations were also offered It and each nation first wanted to see what was in It first and each nation found some Law that they rejected . HaShem Holding the Mountain Above our heads , Gave us a choice of how Important is the decision of Keeping The Torah . Had we rejected It , Creation would have ended , For Creation And HaShem's Torah Go Hand In Hand . One means the other , For Creation That HaShem Created , Is To Be The Place Where HaShem's Torah Is To Be Kept . On the night before Shavuos , the people had fallen asleep and were not standing ready in the morning , When HaShem Was Going To Reveal Himself and so , through the generations , Jews learnt Torah throughout this night , for on that night before , they had fallen asleep . In the morning of the day of Shavuos , fifty days after leaving Mitzrayim and purifying themselves through the Omer Period of the 49 levels of Tum'a that was Egypt , on that fiftieth day , the people were awoken with thunder and lightning and a heavy cloud On Har Sinai And The Sound Of The Shofar So Powerful That the very Earth shuddered . Animals far off went into labour , the Earth Worldwide shook and the very Air suddenly became silent at the Introduction By HaShem , When HaShem Came Down and Pronounced the first word " Anochi ' at the beginning of The Ten Commandments , For At HaShem's Pronouncement Of That First Word , the Trees stopped rustling , the animals became totally silent and the very air around us , stopped moving and blowing . HaShem Bent Shamayim Heaven Down So That It Touched Earth On Har Sinai , So That HaShem's Heaven Actually Came Down And Touched Earth and so The World Stood Completely still , nothing moved , When HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu , Came Down To Meet His Children of Israel . Not a single leaf moved or rustled . The nations at the time , ran to their prophet Bilaam and asked him what is happening , for they feared another Mabul - Flood and Bilaam told them that the World has gone silent and everything in it , for the honour and respect of The Creator HaShem , Who Has Now Come Down To Give His Torah And Reveal Himself To His People . Moshe stood higher on the Mountain , then Aharon lower and the Kohanim to be and elders , lower still . Moshe brought the people forward to meet G-D . Moshe Spoke and the people saw That he Was Answered By HaShem With A Voice . And so , HaShem Descended On Har Sinai . The Ten Commandments contain 620 letters , which points to the 613 Mitzvos incumbent on a Jew and the 7 Noachide Laws . At The Revelation On Har Sinai , every Jew past present and still to come , including righteous Gairim too , were also present at The Revelation . The very fact that we said " Na'aseh ve Nishma , " - " We will do and we will listen , " is also a hidden showing that " We will do , " refers to the Torah She ' Bichtav , " - " The Written Torah " and " The Torah She ' Be ' Al Peh , " refers to the " Oral Torah , " with all its Mishnayos , Talmud and explanations , That Were All Given To Moshe and us . How Special That This Holy Day On Which HaShem Revealed Himself And Gave us His Ten Commandments , Was The Shabbos Day . A Day totally to be devoted To HaShem . So should we always do . When HaShem Spoke , we all could hear and see His Voice and as Torah Tells us , We all stood . This means That HaShem Healed all the blind , the deaf and those who couldn't stand , for as The Holy Torah Says , we all Saw , Heard and Stood . We were all put in the position of prophets with great holiness , when we experienced G-D . In seeing HaShem's Voice , we all witnessed , our entire people , How HaShem's Voice Came From Him , In The Form Of Fire Trails That encircled the entire camp , Through each and every one of us , Returning To HaShem . HaShem , At First , Spoke All The Commandments , All Ten , at once , In A Single Speaking , A Feat That no one else But HaShem Could Perform , Each Commandment Coming Out At The Exact Same Instant That Every Other Commandment Came Out . Thereafter , Did HaShem Relay Each Commandment Separately , One By One . To each person , HaShem Gave Each Commandment , in the way that person could understand it and get the same understanding as every other person , so that all the people , got the same understanding , at the same time , But HaShem Allowed For each person's different level , yet each person Still Got From HaShem the same understanding . With Each Commandment Given , HaShem Gave Also To each person , The Explanations And Depths And Intricacies To Each Law , that our present day Mishnayos give , So That Each Law Was Fully Explained In Its Entirety , to each person , So That each person Would Get an equal understanding . HaShem Gave The First Two Commandments With His Own Voice To us all , but because of our spiritual level being so far below Moshe's , we actually expired and died , where our souls left our bodies . HaShem Had To Revive us all , With the Dew of Revival , That HaShem Will Use At The End Of Days , At Techias Ha Meisim . The people begged Moshe to please relate the other Commandments himself From HaShem , for we could not take it ourselves , The Power Of HaShem's Almighty And Never-Ending Forever voice and so , the remaining Eight Commandments Were Related From HaShem Through Moshe . HaShem Told Moshe That He Had Spoken To us Directly , So That we may always have The Fear Of HaShem On our Faces and keep The Holy Commandments Of HaShem . Even When HaShem Wrote The Ten Commandments On The Tablets , That Too Was Miraculous From HaShem , For The Words From HaShem Actually Floated Within The Tablets . Some Hebrew Letters are completely round , like the Samech and the Mem and they never touched The Tablets within , but floated within The Tablets . Also Miraculously , The Wording within the Tablets , read the same correct way , from both sides of the Tablets , which ever side one was facing , The Writing Was Always Facing the correct way when reading it . HaShem Is All Powerful And So Are HaShem's Words , that not even solid Stone can stop . So HaShem's Words Are Forever , Continuing Through time , From that day And Beyond , To our time And Into The Forever . HaShem's Words From then , Are Still Continuing and even today , we sometimes ask a question And The Answer Sometimes Comes To us From The Very Words Of HaShem That Were Continuing From What Was Spoken Then By HaShem . As I have mentioned before in other places , seeing that nothing can stop HaShem's Powerful Almighty Voice , HaShem's Voice Thus Does Not Have an echo , for nothing can stop , halt or rebound HaShem's Almighty Powerful Voice . This Shabbos and the day before , that is The Day That we received HaShem's Almighty And Beautiful Revelation , Are Days Of Great Holiness . If we really and truly put the physical aside and let ourselves Daven To HaShem as deeply as we can , we can still feel HaShem's Forever Traveling Words , Reaching us Through the Centuries And Bringing us Home To HaShem . So this Shabbos and this Shavuos , let us take our souls back to that very day , Which Is HaShem's Truth And Which Is True Reality , for we are still Standing Before HaShem at the foot of Har Sinai and let us acknowledge these Ten Commandments which will take us back To HaShem's Original Creation , That HaShem Created With Ten Pronouncements and this time , renew our Words of Following HaShem Totally and so , bring ourselves back onto The Path That HaShem Intended For us , where after That First Shabbos At The Time Of Creation , we would have walked into the Eternal Shabbos Forever . So can we thus return to Gan Eiden Shamayim and let us totally give ourselves over to our Creator HaShem and Stand before HaShem , with total Humility and Love and become one again and forever With our Beloved HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Ever Most Beloved And Beautiful Everlasting HaShem With Utmost Faithful And Total Deep And Forever Love , A Very Beautiful And Special Shabbos Kodesh and Good Yom Tov Chag Shavuos Sameach With Love and to all my fellow Jews , a Very Beautiful and Special and Blessed Shabbos Kodesh and Good Yom Tov Chag Shavuos Sameach with Love . Good Shabbos To HaShem's Creation with Love .

Our Shabbos Parsha is Parashas Bamidbar which starts out the Fourth Book Of HaShem's Holy Torah . Seeing as this Shabbos comes the day before Rosh Chodesh Sivan , we read the Haftorah for Shabbos Erev Rosh Chodesh which is 1 Samuel 20 : 18 - 42 , which starts with a reference to the following day being the New Moon Chodesh , just as this Shabbos is Erev Rosh Chodesh . This Parsha starts out With HaShem Speaking To Moshe In the " Bamidbar " - " In the Wilderness " of Sinai , In The Tent of Meeting , on the first of Iyar ( the Hebrew Month after Nissan ) , in the second year after leaving Mitzrayim Egypt . HaShem Tells Moshe To Take a census of the entire Assembly of the Children of Israel , according to their families , according to their Father's household , by number of the names , every male according to the head count , from twenty years and up , everyone who goes out to the Legion in Israel , Moshe and Aharon are to count them according to their Legions and with Moshe while they are counted , must also be present the Prince - Leader of each Tribe , representing their Tribe . HaShem Then Gives Moshe the names of the Leaders of the Tribes who are to stand with him . This was the third time that we were counted . The first time was when we left Egypt . The next time was after the Chayit Ha Eigel - the Incident of the Golden Calf . And now we were counted again . The First count showed How HaShem Had Blessed our Tribes in Egypt to grow Miraculously . The second count was to ascertain the amount of those left after the golden calf And Now HaShem Had us counted again . So Why Did HaShem Count us At this particular time ? Ramban offers a few reasons . Ramban says that after 210 years of slavery , HaShem Had us counted , To Show His Love For each and every one of us , That HaShem Increased our numbers from the original 70 members that first entered Egypt in Yaakov's time . Also , To HaShem , each and every one of us is important and thus we each had an opportunity to come and be counted as a person of individual worth . Also , the word " Legion " is used here , so another reason for the counting now at this juncture , was because we were about to enter at that time , Eretz Yisrael and thus a count had to take place to prepare ourselves , first of all for the military campaign in our " Legions " that would ensue as we entered the Land , for those battles that we might have to fight and also for the apportioning of the Land of Israel between and to each Tribe and their families , for this time was before the Spies had brought back a bad report and so , we were at that time , still about to enter the Land , before we were punished for the incident of the Spies after which we had to wander in the " Bamidbar " - " Wilderness " for forty years . HaShem Loves each and every one of us And Holds each and every one of us so very precious and so , like we would count and take note of every precious item we have , So Did HaShem Have us counted . Moshe also invited the Elders too out of respect for them when he did the counting , which he did As Soon As HaShem Asked him to , showing his great love For HaShem and his eagerness to fulfil HaShem's Word Straight away . Each person that was counted , was counted via half a shekel coin . Jews are not to be counted directly . HaShem Values the life of each and every Jew and so , each and every Jew has a purpose in Creation . We are not just Physical beings , but have a Spiritual Neshoma within . The Physicality , that is our clothing in this Physical World , is prone to temptation , since the sin of Adam ve Chava and so , was the negativity brought into this World . That negativity , as a force , seeks to count us for Judgement , which is a totally fair action , for even that negative force , whether we call it Yetzer Horah , or its Malach Samael or Satan , still works For HaShem , in ensuring that we get tempted , so as to test our love For HaShem . If we love HaShem enough , we will overcome the tests and temptations put on us . These forces seek to have us judged for the wrong that we do . That is one of their tasks . We need to be tested so as to better ourselves and show HaShem greater love than what we might do if we just went along fulfilling our own desires . Seeing as these forces have special abilities to seek where we need Judgement , our very actions stand out To HaShem and these forces and so , Out Of HaShem's Mercy For us so that we and our negative actions will not stand out to negative entities , For HaShem Who Knows of our negative actions , HaShem Tries To Show us Mercy and so we do not count our people directly , but rather use an object of counting instead , like a coin , or words of a Psalm , which we use when counting for a Minyan . So HaShem Instructed That the count be made with a half shekel coin per person . We note That When HaShem Asked That a " Census " be taken , HaShem Said In His Holy Torah , " S'u Es Rosh Kol Adas B'nei Yisrael , " - " Take a census of the entire assembly of the Children of Israel . " The word for ' Census ' in Hebrew , is ' Mifkad ' ( Compact up to date English Hebrew Hebrew English Dictionary - Shimon Zilberman ) yet here in HaShem's Holy Torah , HaShem Uses the word " S'u , " which means ' to lift up , " which gives a deeper meaning Of HaShem's Intention Here . HaShem Was Thus Saying , ' lift up in holiness " Es Rosh " each one's head - each one's Physicality , to higher Spiritual and Holy Heights and Ways . Thus when we get counted , HaShem Shows That He Acknowledges us and our purpose in Creation , that this purpose is a Holy one and that we are being called to attention to work up towards Him and improve ourselves in Holiness . The words " Lift up the head , " can also have an opposite connotation , where our head is actually lifted off from us , as if being beheaded , which shows that by keeping HaShem's Mitzvos , we grow higher Spiritually , but if we do not keep HaShem's Mitzvos , Chas Ve Shalom , the result is like our head being lifted off , which spells death . Our very lives are in the hands of the very actions we do . If we keep The Holy Torah Of HaShem , then we will go on the path of and towards life , but if we stray and do not keep HaShem's Holy Torah Laws , Chas Ve Shalom , we go away from life , towards death and destroying our very selves and our purpose in Creation , which is to Serve HaShem and Work also for the common good and not just for ourselves . Just like a Shofet , a Judge , when Judging , must always think that there is a sword above his head , so that he must judge correctly , so must we think the same . Our very lives are in the hands of our actions and obedience To HaShem And His Laws for our good . We must always account ourselves among those who keep The Holy Torah Of HaShem's Laws . The Sedra then continues with the count of each Tribe and the total . HaShem Then Instructs On the Placements and Formations of all the Tribes , as we rest and travel . Three Tribes were put in all four directions around the Camp , three per a direction and within them , were the Levites and then Moshe and Aharon and in the Centre of our Camp , was the Holy Ark of the Covenant and within It , The Shechinah Of HaShem . This showed how we , at all times , are to be a Nation unto HaShem and to always keep HaShem within our midst . HaShem Makes All Of Creation . HaShem's Love Is Within Everything That Is . We are Physically to always be surrounded by Holiness , keeping HaShem Always within us and Always within our midst . The way we set ourselves up in the Tribal Formations when we were in the " Bamidbar " - " Wilderness " was exactly how we had our formation when we were in our Tribes at the time of going to Canaan , to bury our holy Fore - Father Yaakov , in Yosef's time . So did we keep the same Formation . Our Formations also were , as we were traveling in the " Bamidbar " - " Wilderness " exactly how the Malachim Angels have their Formations Up Above , Around HaShem And His Holy Throne of Glory . We were each to encamp and travel within our Tribe , by our Banners and Insignias of our Father's Household . These Banners for each Tribe , were of the same colour for each Tribe , as the colour of the Stone that represented that Tribe , on the Kohein Gadol's Breast-Plate . The Insignias and Banners , represented a picture of something that had a representation for each Tribe , like Yehudah's Tribe was the Lion . Three Tribes each were grouped together in each of the four directions . And each of the four groups , had their own banner , that represented the four creatures , that were in Yechezkiel's Revelation , Further On In The Holy Tanach . To the East and the first set of three Tribes to travel , was the Group of Yehudah , which included the Tribes of Yehudah , Issachar and Zevulun . The East , is the direction from which Light Comes to the World and so , Yehudah and his group of Issachar , the Torah Scholars and Zevulun , who supports him , were put together . To the South , was the group of Reuvein , which included the Tribes of Reuvein , Simeon and Gad and from the South , Comes Spiritual Blessings Of Rain And Dew , representing Repentance And Mercy From HaShem and so , Reuvein ( Yaakov's son ) , who was a repentant man who had acknowledged his mistake , was deserving to be in this direction . With him , was put the powerful Tribal men of Gad and with then was the Tribe of Simeon , where both Reuvein and Gad , would keep him in check . To the West , Is The Place Of HaShem's Shechinah and it is also the place where harsh elements of snow and hail come and so the set of three Tribes in this direction , would have the Holiness to withstand it . In this group of Three Tribes , under the banner of Ephraim , was the Tribe of Ephraim , from which Yehoshuah Joshua came , the Tribe of Manasseh , both sons of Yosef and also the Tribe of Binyamin , in whose portion in Israel , the Temple would stand . To the North , from which hidden and dark forces come , was the group Tribe of Dan , in which the Tribe of Dan was ( where later in years , from this Tribe king Yeravam came , who set up an idol ) and also the Tribe of Dan was strong , where Moshe had called this Tribe a Lion ( Kli Yakar ) so we would thus have a Lion's strength in our forefront with the Tribe of Yehudah and in our rear , with the Tribe of Dan , so was this group a strong protector from the rear . Also with this group , was the Tribe of Asher , who brought Holiness and Light , in their Olive Oil , that would Illuminate the Menorah , thus dispelling the darkness and also in this group was the Tribe of Naftali , known for its Torah Scholars . HaShem Instructs Moshe To Then count the Levites separately , Aharon being the Leader of the Tribe of Levi . We note That When HaShem Talks Of Aharon's children here , they are referred to as the children of Moshe and Aharon . This teaches that as Moshe taught Aharon's children The Holy Torah straight from The Almighty , so did they become like his children too and so our Sages say that one is a parent to a child not only by conceiving them , but also through teaching them HaShem's Holy Torah . Due to the sin of the Firstborn at the Chait Ha Eigel , The Levites replaced them and were counted instead for the work of the Avodah . The Levites were counted , but unlike the rest of the Tribes who were counted from the age of twenty , the Levites were counted from the age from one month of age and up , for their Holiness and Avodah had to start at an earlier age to grow into holy men for the service they were to perform . The Firstborn were also counted and there was a difference in numbers between the Levites and Firstborn totals , for the Firstborn outnumbered the Levites by 273 . HaShem Instructed That every Levite and Firstborn were to stand before Moshe , who said out loud , that this Levite redeemed this firstborn . Another opinion is that a lot was cast . The 273 in excess , of Firstborn , were redeemed with five shekels each , the amount in Torah to redeem a Firstborn . It is interesting that if we take the number 273 and put it to it's Gematrical letters in the Hebrew Alphabet , we get the word ' Gara ' ( with an Ayin ) which means ' lack or deficit or less ' ( Silberman's Dictionary ) and this number of 273 , was exactly the amount of Levites that were less than the Firstborn amount . The number of Levites in total , was much less than the total of any other Tribe . The reason for this is that in Egypt , the Levites did not do slave labour , which the Egyptians had put on the other Tribes , so as to try decrease their numbers And So HaShem Blessed the other Tribes to Grow , to counteract the attempts of Egypt to try to diminish us , Chas Ve Shalom . The Tribe of Levi thus did not receive this Blessing there , as the Egyptians had made no attempt to put them to work and so their numbers were not diminished by the evil attempts of Pharaoh to diminish them and so did not need that same Blessing to counteract Egypt's attempt to diminish them . Some of our Rabbonim have the opinion that the Levites were afterwards put to work by the Egyptians after Pharaoh had said that we must make bricks without straw . HaShem Sees All . May HaShem Send us The Final Redemption Speedily In our days . HaShem's Holy Torah Then Continues With the divisions of work given to the Levites , who were divided into the three sons of Levi , thus three groups of Levites , being Gershon , Kohath and Merari . The Kohathites were in the South and they were to carry The Ark and all its holy vessels ; The Gershonites were in the West and they were to carry the Tabernacle and the Tent and the Merarites were in the North and they were to carry the implements of holy articles ( Ramban ) . In this Parsha , The Sedra starts telling us of the work of Kohath , whose task it was , when we were to journey , to come and cover the Holy Vessels . The Ark of the Covenant , when covered , by Aharon and his sons , was not to be looked at , out of respect for the Shechinah . When these vessels were carried , it would be the sons of Kohath who would carry them , as I mentioned . Aharon's son Elazar , was to carry the Oil of Illumination , the Incense Spices , the Meal - Offering and the Anointment Oil , which he , With HaShem's Help , carried Miraculously all at once . He also had charge of the whole Tabernacle and all that was in it , the Sanctuary and its utensils . The Ark when carried , Carried Itself and those holding It , for It travelled in the Air , Above the ground . Infact the ones who held It's poles , had to face It all the time and not turn their back to It , thus the ones in the forward direction , actually walked forward , backwards facing a backwards direction . Even when the Ark came into Canaan , the Levites that carried It , were carried across in mid air , when those that carried It , had to go over the Jordan river , after it too had split for us By HaShem's Loving Hand , so our people could go over into Canaan . The Ark Carries Itself . It is not us who carry The Holy Torah Of HaShem , but The Holy Torah Of HaShem , Through time Carries us For HaShem Carries us . Moshe also appointed Levites as Ma'amados , to guard the Sanctuary Ark . He appointed 8 groups to keep changing . King David did this too , appointing 24 Ma'amados . The Sedra ends With HaShem Reminding that those assigned , when they approach the Holy of Holies , shall not come and look at the Holy , as it is inserted , lest they die . So ends the Parsha . The Parsha of " Bamidbar " - " Wilderness " as I mentioned , starts out the Book of Bamidbar , called Numbers , for countings and Numbers start out the Book and are a part of the first few Chapters of this Holy Fourth Book of HaShem's Holy Torah . But " Bamidbar " refers to and means " Wilderness , " the place we spent forty years traveling through , on our way to Canaan . The reference is made to the " Bamidbar Sinai " - " Wilderness of Sinai , " which shows a reference to Sinai , the humble Mountain on which we were given The Revelation Of HaShem On the date of Shavuos , coming to us in just over a week , When HaShem Came Down To us and on which Mountain , we received the Ten Commandments . The Reason That HaShem Chose this particular Mountain , was that it was the most humble of mountains , for when the Spiritual essence of the other mountains heard That HaShem Was Going To Come down On a Mountain , as the Psalm says , ' they skipped like lambs ' which means that they put themselves forward to be chosen As The Place Of HaShem's Revelation , but Mount Sinai Har Sinai , remained quiet and humble , feeling unworthy and totally undeserving to be the Mountain On Which HaShem Would Come Down Upon . Another Reason why this mountain Was Chosen By HaShem , was that on all the other Mountains , the other nations had performed Avodah Zorah Idol Worship on them , but Mount Sinai , remained pure and on it , no acts of idol worship were ever performed on its peak . So HaShem Chose this Humble Mountain As The Place Of His Revelation . The same is with a " Bamidbar " - " Wilderness " for it is an ownerless place , that no other nation has claimed for itself and thus remains totally humble and ownerless , clearly seen , As HaShem's Possession , unclaimed by other humans , Even Though all Places And Things Are Owned By HaShem . This is how we can gain in Torah Knowledge and Learning and Wisdom , by being humble and open to learning , with no preconceived ideas of and from strange ways , but being totally ' ownerless ' - totally ' humble ' - totally open to Pure Holy Torah Ways . It is in such a surroundings , where Torah can truly Speak to us , It's Everlasting Truth From HaShem . Dovid Ha Melech knew this , for at times in his life , he would go into the desert alone and spend days and nights alone With HaShem , away from other people , humbling himself and opening himself up in total humility To HaShem And HaShem's Wisdom . Such is what is a " Bamidbar " - a " Wilderness . " As we come close to Shavuot When HaShem Revealed Himself to His People , let us all grow in Holiness as we count the Omer up to Shavuot , purifying ourselves every day to meet HaShem at the Most Holy Time . Let us all return To HaShem's Holy Torah and all keep HaShem's Holy Torah Laws and finally bring this World to ' Olam Habah ' - ' The World to Come , ' Surrounded By HaShem's Holy Pure And Beautiful Love . In fact , within the word " Bamidbar , " are the words ' Ba Me Daber , ' - ' Come and I Will Speak ' to you . It is when we make ourselves totally humble , then can we open ourselves up totally to hearing HaShem Speaking To us . The Very Fact That HaShem's Holy Torah Was Given In a Wilderness , that is ownerless , shows That The Holy Torah is not just owned by a select few . Torah is open to all who want to come and learn , HaShem Awaits us all , As His Creation , To Come Close To Him , Through Holy Pure Torah Humble Learning . It is then that we can truly have our ' heads Lifted and Raised ' To Holiness and be ' Counted ' As HaShem's Special Ones . It is then , that we can be who HaShem Wants us To Be , Humble Always , In The Legion Of HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Everlasting Most Beloved HaShem With All my Deepest Love , A Very Special And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Chodesh Tov Sivan With Deepest And Eternal Forever Love and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Very Special and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Chodesh Tov Sivan with love .

This Torah Post I dedicate to my Beloved Ima . May HaShem Send my beloved Ima Abundant Brochas And Bless my beloved Ima With Peace , Tranquillity And Everlasting Happiness In Shamayim Close To HaShem . The Parsha this Shabbos is a Double Parsha of Parashas Behar and Parashas Bechukosai taking us to the end of the Book of Vayikra Leviticus In The Holy Torah Of HaShem . The Haftorah is Yirmeyahu Jeremiah 16 : 19 - 17 : 14 . Both the Torah Portion and the Haftorah speak of Admonitions and consequences for not keeping HaShem's Torah Laws . Parashas Behar begins teaching us of the Shemittah year , the Sabbatical Seventh Year , when we are in the Land of Israel , that we are to let our Land lie fallow and not sow our field or prune our vineyard . Just As HaShem Commanded At The Beginning Of Creation , that we are to Keep The Sabbath , the Seventh Day and do no manner of Work at all , so are we to do the same with our Fields and Vineyards . The number Seven in Judaism is a holy number . There are Seven days to the week within Creation and Seven Years in the Shemittah Year . There are Seven words in the first verse of Bereishis in the Torah . We await Moshiach , whose Gematriah is Seven . HaShem Made Six Days of Creation and the Seventh Day Is Holy To And For HaShem and Is The Holy Shabbos . We have Seven weeks in the Omer that we count toward Holiness , that we are right now in the process of counting , when we received the Ten Commandments after Seven Weeks after coming out of Egypt , where on that very next day after the Seven Weeks , on that Fiftieth Day , like the Fiftieth Year of the Yovel Year , on that Fiftieth Day after Coming from Mitzrayim , is Shavuot , When HaShem Revealed Himself To us On Har Sinai , like this Parsha is called " Behar . " There are Seven Days , where a male boy born has to have gone through a Shabbos , where on the next day after the Seventh Day , on that Eighth Day , he is given a Bris . We Jewish males , wind the Tefillin around the arm Seven times . Though there are Five Books in the Torah , we are told that there is a separation in a certain verse place of the Torah , which would make it Spiritually Seven Books . This verse is in Bamidbar Numbers 10 : 35 - 36 , that we recite when returning the Torah to the Ark . There are Seven Heavens and Seven Main Levels to Shamayim with umpteen levels of Seven in between , as the Spiritual Firmament . Moshe was the Seventh generation from and including Avraham , for the Seven Generations from Avraham , were Avraham , Yitzchak , Yaakov , Levi , Kohath , Amram and Moshe . And there are many other examples of the Holiness of the Number Seven , like Shabbos being the Seventh Day of Creation and the Seventh Day of the week . When it comes to the Shabbos and the Shemittah Year , we are to put total trust and have total faith In HaShem , that when we do not work our Fields for the whole year , HaShem Will Still Bless us and Provide For us . Just the same as we are not to go to work on Shabbos , in full Faith In HaShem , That HaShem Will Bless us . To keep the Shabbos , shows Complete Faith In HaShem's Creation . Creation took place in six days and so , to Keep Shabbos That HaShem Created , shows our Faith and Belief That HaShem Created the other Six Days and all that HaShem Created In them . The Shemittah Year , for the Land of Israel , is the same kind of show of Faith , That HaShem Creates all things And In Him , is our Parnosa and all that we need for living . The very fact that we stop our every day occupation and give this Day of Shabbos For HaShem and to spend Quality Time With HaShem , putting our own Physical wants aside , shows that we Acknowledge That Creation Is HaShem's Creation and that all that is , Belongs To HaShem . The same is with the Shemittah Year , where we work our Fields for Six Years and in the Seventh Year , we stop and acknowledge HaShem's True And Rightful Ownership Of the Field . The very fact of not working the Field in the Sabbatical Year , shows that we know the Fields and everything in Creation is not ours at all and that all things in Creation , are on loan From HaShem . During this Sabbatical Year , we are to open up our Fields for our neighbours and the poor of the Land . What A Beautiful Kind Law Of HaShem . How Giving Is HaShem . Thus , in this Sabbatical Year , we make and state that the Land is ' Ownerless . ' The Land Always and Forever , Belongs Always To HaShem . We are then to count Seven Cycles of Sabbatical Years , making Forty Nine Years and then in the Seventh Month , on the Tenth of the Month , Yom Kippur , we are to sound a broken blast of the Shofar , throughout the Land and Sanctify the Fiftieth Year , proclaiming Freedom throughout the Land for all it's inhabitants and those who are serving , such is the Yovel Jubilee Year , where each man , you shall return , to his ancestral heritage and each man you shall return , to his family . The Jubilee Year is the year that all slaves go free . On it , just like the Shemittah Year , you shall not sow or harvest . Thus , in the Jubilee Year , the Land will have stayed fallow , for two years long , the Jubilee Year and the Shemittah Year just before it . HaShem's Torah Also Teaches That In the Jubilee Year , Land is returned to its original owner . Torah Goes Through the different Laws of how Land is Redeemed , depending on whether it was in a Walled or Un-Walled City , in the Land of Israel , in the time of Yehoshuah's Conquest of the Land . HaShem's Torah Also Discusses the Levite Cities And Then Talks Of the Poor , that we are to take care of the Poor . The Laws of the Jewish Slave are discussed and how we must redeem our impoverished brothers as soon as possible . The Parsha of Behar ends With HaShem Reminding us that we are His Servants , whom HaShem Took Out Of the Land of Mitzrayim and thus , we are not to remain servants to human masters , for we are only Under HaShem . This is also a deep Law , reminding us never to make any human into a False Deity , putting them above us , For Only HaShem Is G-D . The Parsha ends with reminding us not to make idols or statues or pillars in Eretz Yisrael for idol worship , or a flooring stone as the pagans and idol worshipers do , upon which to prostrate oneself for prayer to idols , Chas Ve Shalom , For Only HaShem Is HaShem our G-D and that we are to Observe HaShem's Shabbos And HaShem's Sanctuary , For HaShem Is HaShem , The Only True G-D . Parashas Bechukosai Starts out by Saying " Im Bechukosai Teileichu , " - " If you follow My Decrees . " One has to ask , Why HaShem Says " If , " with regards to Obeying Him . The answer is very straightforward , for we know That HaShem Wants us to Keep His Commandments . But unlike the Malachim - Angels , HaShem Gives us the opportunity to grow . This can only take place if we have ' Free Choice . ' For we can gain holiness if we genuinely choose to be holy . A robot can only do what it is programmed to do . It thus cannot better itself , but always remains on the level it was when it was made . But us , as human beings , can choose to be holy and climb towards HaShem In Holiness and so , HaShem Has Given us each the opportunity to grow Into Holiness and continue growing In Holiness . Thus Does HaShem Give us the choice that " Im Bechukosai Teileichu , " - " That " if " we choose to grow in Holiness , Then The Pathway To HaShem Is Through HaShem's Laws , Commandments And Decrees . So our very Gift of being given this opportunity to grow , is actually our opportunity to show how much we love HaShem , over and greater than ourselves . For this action , we Will Be Blessed With Many Brochas That HaShem Will Shower Upon us . Even though our following HaShem's Laws , will bring us Brochas , the very Following Of HaShem , Is for our own benefit . How Selfless Is our Beautiful And Beloved HaShem . Of course , should we disobey and not follow HaShem , then upon us , will come the Tochachah , the Admonitions , mentioned in this Parsha . The choice is given to us . HaShem Wants us to Live And Only By HaShem's Commandments , can we Live . The very act of us going astray , will set us up for the path and road to negativity if we have wrongly chosen it , which brings its own pitfalls and problems . Again the choice is ours . Torah is our Lighthouse to come home to shore . To travel safely through this physical World and come back Home To HaShem and so , grow toward Holiness and come Ever Closer To HaShem . HaShem Is Very Clear in this Sedra about what will happen if we disobey and when we read through these Tochachah , we note How True Is The Holy Torah Of HaShem , for some of these Tochachah - Admonitions have taken place when we have disobeyed . This is our own fault , for going off the path of Torah . HaShem Then Discusses Gifts to the Temple and Valuations as we grow and Vows , the Sanctifying of and Redemption of Animals , Houses and Fields , Segregated Property and Tithes and ends this Parsha of " Bechukosai " and The Book of Vayikra Leviticus Torath Kohanim with saying , " Eileh Ha Mitzvos Asher Tzivah HaShem Es Moshe el B'nei Yisrael Behar Sinai " - " These are the Commandments That HaShem Commanded Moshe to the Children of Israel on Mount Sinai , " so we thus come back to the first Parsha of this Shabbos Double Parsha Sedra , " Behar " Sinai . We note that The Laws Of the Shemittah - Sabbatical and Yovel - Jubilee Years are preceded by the words at the beginning of the Parsha of " Behar " with the words , " Behar Sinai . " Even though this Parsha is put long after HaShem's Revelation On Har Sinai , yet this Parsha is introduced with The Fact That These Words Are Those Spoken By HaShem To Moshe " Behar Sinai , " - " On Har Sinai . " The reason for this Is That HaShem Is Telling us That HaShem Gave These Instructions On Har Sinai . Not just that , but also That HaShem Gave Moshe all The Laws on Har Sinai and throughout the travels of the Children Of Israel through the Wilderness , HaShem Taught Moshe And Also Expanded On The Laws Given on Har Sinai . All Laws Were Given To Moshe On Mount Sinai . All Laws that are in the Torah and that were ever Given to our Nevi'im , our Prophets , that we have in the Tanach and their explanations and full details through time and our Oral Understanding for Each Law , to its minutest detail , that appears in our Beautiful Gemorrahs and Mishnayos , All This Was Given By HaShem , To Moshe and our People on Har Sinai and Forever After , By HaShem , With His Beautiful Love And Care , To Help us grow higher In Holiness Toward HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . Every time we follow A Law Of HaShem and all its Details , let us remember that these details Have Come To us originally from Mount Sinai . HaShem Spoke To Moshe And Also To us On Har Sinai And HaShem's Voice , that nothing can stop , Is Still Carrying Through The Generations of centuries And Still Speaks To us Today . HaShem , Even Then , Knew what Questions each of us might ask thousands of years later And HaShem Gave us Answers to them Even Then . HaShem Still Does Answer us Now And Also HaShem Answered us Then , For Now . How Vast And Almighty Is HaShem . Spiritually , we can still touch the time that each and every one of us Jews were at Har Sinai . For every Jew , past , present and future still to come , stood at Har Sinai , as well as the Gairim too . We are all connected to Har Sinai And HaShem's Voice Carries Through To us , Through The Centuries . I have mentioned this before , That HaShem's Voice Has No Echo . For sound to have an echo , that sound wave must be able to be stopped by a harder more solid surface , But In The Case Of HaShem And His Voice , It Is So Powerful And Penetrating And Almighty , that nothing anywhere in the Whole Universe is Strong Enough to halt HaShem's Voice And So HaShem's Voice Can Never Have an Echo . HaShem's Voice Carries On Through Time And Even If HaShem Says Something thousands of years ago , That Word of whatever It Is That HaShem Said , Is Thus Never Ending . Though Har Sinai was long ago , HaShem's Voice From Then , Still Reaches us now , Through Many Ways , Even In An Answer That we feel we Get , when learning Torah . And So Do HaShem's Laws . Nothing Can Contain HaShem's Voice , For His Voice Is All Powerful And Never Ending . HaShem Wants us all to live A Torah Life . The very keeping of Torah Is HaShem's Pathway Means To Life And Life Eternal . It Is our Existence . It Is The True Total Purpose Of Creation , Making all Physicality Holy And A Home For HaShem To Dwell With us . Though HaShem Leaves the choice up to us , to Keep HaShem's Laws , This Choice , if we choose wisely and correctly , Will Bring us , From HaShem , Untold Brochas and is True Life and Living . To disobey , which is akin to not Living , for it goes against the very pathway to Life , of Torah and Creation , brings with it the opposite , which is , ' Not Living , ' and so is a path to Negativity and Curse . HaShem Wants us to Choose Life . HaShem Wants us to Choose to better ourselves , but the choice is ours . Torah Is Revelation . In Each And Every Word Of The Holy Torah Of HaShem , Is HaShem's Revelation And Light . Har Sinai , HaShem's Revelation , Carries Through , in every Mitzah we keep . In Every Word In Torah That HaShem Writes . In Every Commandment From HaShem , that we do . Har Sinai is always with us , as long as we choose to obey HaShem And HaShem's Holy Torah . Torah is Life . HaShem's Gift Of Torah , Is HaShem's Pathway For us to The Light , to True Life , To HaShem , Who Awaits our very love , that we all , deep down want to show HaShem . So let us all , always choose , to ever keep climbing higher and higher " Behar , " - " The Mountain , " working ever closer and closer To HaShem And HaShem's Light . HaShem's Beautiful Radiant Holy Light . Let us all choose Life , True Eternal Life , In The Arms Of HaShem's Love . I wish Most Beloved HaShem With Forever And Eternal Sweetest Love , A Most Beautiful And Special Shabbos Kodesh With Eternal Deepest Love and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Most Special and Holy Sweet Shabbos Kodesh With Love .

The Parsha this Shabbos is a Double Parsha of Parashas Behar and Parashas Bechukosai taking us to the end of the Book of Vayikra Leviticus In The Holy Torah Of HaShem . The Haftorah is Yirmeyahu Jeremiah 16 : 19 - 17 : 14 . Both the Torah Portion and the Haftorah speak of Admonitions and consequences for not keeping HaShem's Torah Laws . Parashas Behar begins teaching us of the Shemittah year , the Sabbatical Seventh Year , when we are in the Land of Israel , that we are to let our Land lie fallow and not sow our field or prune our vineyard . Just As HaShem Commanded At The Beginning Of Creation , that we are to Keep The Sabbath , the Seventh Day and do no manner of Work at all , so are we to do the same with our Fields and Vineyards . The number Seven in Judaism is a holy number . There are Seven days to the week within Creation and Seven Years in the Shemittah Year . There are Seven words in the first verse of Bereishis in the Torah . We await Moshiach , whose Gematriah is Seven . HaShem Made Six Days of Creation and the Seventh Day Is Holy To And For HaShem and Is The Holy Shabbos . We have Seven weeks in the Omer that we count toward Holiness , that we are right now in the process of counting , when we received the Ten Commandments after Seven Weeks after coming out of Egypt , where on that very next day after the Seven Weeks , on that Fiftieth Day , like the Fiftieth Year of the Yovel Year , on that Fiftieth Day after Coming from Mitzrayim , is Shavuot , When HaShem Revealed Himself To us On Har Sinai , like this Parsha is called " Behar . " There are Seven Days , where a male boy born has to have gone through a Shabbos , where on the next day after the Seventh Day , on that Eighth Day , he is given a Bris . We Jewish males , wind the Tefillin around the arm Seven times . Though there are Five Books in the Torah , we are told that there is a separation in a certain verse place of the Torah , which would make it Spiritually Seven Books . This verse is in Bamidbar Numbers 10 : 35 - 36 , that we recite when returning the Torah to the Ark . There are Seven Heavens and Seven Main Levels to Shamayim with umpteen levels of Seven in between , as the Spiritual Firmament . Moshe was the Seventh generation from and including Avraham , for the Seven Generations from Avraham , were Avraham , Yitzchak , Yaakov , Levi , Kohath , Amram and Moshe . And there are many other examples of the Holiness of the Number Seven , like Shabbos being the Seventh Day of Creation and the Seventh Day of the week . When it comes to the Shabbos and the Shemittah Year , we are to put total trust and have total faith In HaShem , that when we do not work our Fields for the whole year , HaShem Will Still Bless us and Provide For us . Just the same as we are not to go to work on Shabbos , in full Faith In HaShem , That HaShem Will Bless us . To keep the Shabbos , shows Complete Faith In HaShem's Creation . Creation took place in six days and so , to Keep Shabbos That HaShem Created , shows our Faith and Belief That HaShem Created the other Six Days and all that HaShem Created In them . The Shemittah Year , for the Land of Israel , is the same kind of show of Faith , That HaShem Creates all things And In Him , is our Parnosa and all that we need for living . The very fact that we stop our every day occupation and give this Day of Shabbos For HaShem and to spend Quality Time With HaShem , putting our own Physical wants aside , shows that we Acknowledge That Creation Is HaShem's Creation and that all that is , Belongs To HaShem . The same is with the Shemittah Year , where we work our Fields for Six Years and in the Seventh Year , we stop and acknowledge HaShem's True And Rightful Ownership Of the Field . The very fact of not working the Field in the Sabbatical Year , shows that we know the Fields and everything in Creation is not ours at all and that all things in Creation , are on loan From HaShem . During this Sabbatical Year , we are to open up our Fields for our neighbours and the poor of the Land . What A Beautiful Kind Law Of HaShem . How Giving Is HaShem . Thus , in this Sabbatical Year , we make and state that the Land is ' Ownerless . ' The Land Always and Forever , Belongs Always To HaShem . We are then to count Seven Cycles of Sabbatical Years , making Forty Nine Years and then in the Seventh Month , on the Tenth of the Month , Yom Kippur , we are to sound a broken blast of the Shofar , throughout the Land and Sanctify the Fiftieth Year , proclaiming Freedom throughout the Land for all it's inhabitants and those who are serving , such is the Yovel Jubilee Year , where each man , you shall return , to his ancestral heritage and each man you shall return , to his family . The Jubilee Year is the year that all slaves go free . On it , just like the Shemittah Year , you shall not sow or harvest . Thus , in the Jubilee Year , the Land will have stayed fallow , for two years long , the Jubilee Year and the Shemittah Year just before it . HaShem's Torah Also Teaches That In the Jubilee Year , Land is returned to its original owner . Torah Goes Through the different Laws of how Land is Redeemed , depending on whether it was in a Walled or Un-Walled City , in the Land of Israel , in the time of Yehoshuah's Conquest of the Land . HaShem's Torah Also Discusses the Levite Cities And Then Talks Of the Poor , that we are to take care of the Poor . The Laws of the Jewish Slave are discussed and how we must redeem our impoverished brothers as soon as possible . The Parsha of Behar ends With HaShem Reminding us that we are His Servants , whom HaShem Took Out Of the Land of Mitzrayim and thus , we are not to remain servants to human masters , for we are only Under HaShem . This is also a deep Law , reminding us never to make any human into a False Deity , putting them above us , For Only HaShem Is G-D . The Parsha ends with reminding us not to make idols or statues or pillars in Eretz Yisrael for idol worship , or a flooring stone as the pagans and idol worshipers do , upon which to prostrate oneself for prayer to idols , Chas Ve Shalom , For Only HaShem Is HaShem our G-D and that we are to Observe HaShem's Shabbos And HaShem's Sanctuary , For HaShem Is HaShem , The Only True G-D . Parashas Bechukosai Starts out by Saying " Im Bechukosai Teileichu , " - " If you follow My Decrees . " One has to ask , Why HaShem Says " If , " with regards to Obeying Him . The answer is very straightforward , for we know That HaShem Wants us to Keep His Commandments . But unlike the Malachim - Angels , HaShem Gives us the opportunity to grow . This can only take place if we have ' Free Choice . ' For we can gain holiness if we genuinely choose to be holy . A robot can only do what it is programmed to do . It thus cannot better itself , but always remains on the level it was when it was made . But us , as human beings , can choose to be holy and climb towards HaShem In Holiness and so , HaShem Has Given us each the opportunity to grow Into Holiness and continue growing In Holiness . Thus Does HaShem Give us the choice that " Im Bechukosai Teileichu , " - " That " if " we choose to grow in Holiness , Then The Pathway To HaShem Is Through HaShem's Laws , Commandments And Decrees . So our very Gift of being given this opportunity to grow , is actually our opportunity to show how much we love HaShem , over and greater than ourselves . For this action , we Will Be Blessed With Many Brochas That HaShem Will Shower Upon us . Even though our following HaShem's Laws , will bring us Brochas , the very Following Of HaShem , Is for our own benefit . How Selfless Is our Beautiful And Beloved HaShem . Of course , should we disobey and not follow HaShem , then upon us , will come the Tochachah , the Admonitions , mentioned in this Parsha . The choice is given to us . HaShem Wants us to Live And Only By HaShem's Commandments , can we Live . The very act of us going astray , will set us up for the path and road to negativity if we have wrongly chosen it , which brings its own pitfalls and problems . Again the choice is ours . Torah is our Lighthouse to come home to shore . To travel safely through this physical World and come back Home To HaShem and so , grow toward Holiness and come Ever Closer To HaShem . HaShem Is Very Clear in this Sedra about what will happen if we disobey and when we read through these Tochachah , we note How True Is The Holy Torah Of HaShem , for some of these Tochachah - Admonitions have taken place when we have disobeyed . This is our own fault , for going off the path of Torah . HaShem Then Discusses Gifts to the Temple and Valuations as we grow and Vows , the Sanctifying of and Redemption of Animals , Houses and Fields , Segregated Property and Tithes and ends this Parsha of " Bechukosai " and The Book of Vayikra Leviticus Torath Kohanim with saying , " Eileh Ha Mitzvos Asher Tzivah HaShem Es Moshe el B'nei Yisrael Behar Sinai " - " These are the Commandments That HaShem Commanded Moshe to the Children of Israel on Mount Sinai , " so we thus come back to the first Parsha of this Shabbos Double Parsha Sedra , " Behar " Sinai . We note that The Laws Of the Shemittah - Sabbatical and Yovel - Jubilee Years are preceded by the words at the beginning of the Parsha of " Behar " with the words , " Behar Sinai . " Even though this Parsha is put long after HaShem's Revelation On Har Sinai , yet this Parsha is introduced with The Fact That These Words Are Those Spoken By HaShem To Moshe " Behar Sinai , " - " On Har Sinai . " The reason for this Is That HaShem Is Telling us That HaShem Gave These Instructions On Har Sinai . Not just that , but also That HaShem Gave Moshe all The Laws on Har Sinai and throughout the travels of the Children Of Israel through the Wilderness , HaShem Taught Moshe And Also Expanded On The Laws Given on Har Sinai . All Laws Were Given To Moshe On Mount Sinai . All Laws that are in the Torah and that were ever Given to our Nevi'im , our Prophets , that we have in the Tanach and their explanations and full details through time and our Oral Understanding for Each Law , to its minutest detail , that appears in our Beautiful Gemorrahs and Mishnayos , All This Was Given By HaShem , To Moshe and our People on Har Sinai and Forever After , By HaShem , With His Beautiful Love And Care , To Help us grow higher In Holiness Toward HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . Every time we follow A Law Of HaShem and all its Details , let us remember that these details Have Come To us originally from Mount Sinai . HaShem Spoke To Moshe And Also To us On Har Sinai And HaShem's Voice , that nothing can stop , Is Still Carrying Through The Generations of centuries And Still Speaks To us Today . HaShem , Even Then , Knew what Questions each of us might ask thousands of years later And HaShem Gave us Answers to them Even Then . HaShem Still Does Answer us Now And Also HaShem Answered us Then , For Now . How Vast And Almighty Is HaShem . Spiritually , we can still touch the time that each and every one of us Jews were at Har Sinai . For every Jew , past , present and future still to come , stood at Har Sinai , as well as the Gairim too . We are all connected to Har Sinai And HaShem's Voice Carries Through To us , Through The Centuries . I have mentioned this before , That HaShem's Voice Has No Echo . For sound to have an echo , that sound wave must be able to be stopped by a harder more solid surface , But In The Case Of HaShem And His Voice , It Is So Powerful And Penetrating And Almighty , that nothing anywhere in the Whole Universe is Strong Enough to halt HaShem's Voice And So HaShem's Voice Can Never Have an Echo . HaShem's Voice Carries On Through Time And Even If HaShem Says Something thousands of years ago , That Word of whatever It Is That HaShem Said , Is Thus Never Ending . Though Har Sinai was long ago , HaShem's Voice From Then , Still Reaches us now , Through Many Ways , Even In An Answer That we feel we Get , when learning Torah . And So Do HaShem's Laws . Nothing Can Contain HaShem's Voice , For His Voice Is All Powerful And Never Ending . HaShem Wants us all to live A Torah Life . The very keeping of Torah Is HaShem's Pathway Means To Life And Life Eternal . It Is our Existence . It Is The True Total Purpose Of Creation , Making all Physicality Holy And A Home For HaShem To Dwell With us . Though HaShem Leaves the choice up to us , to Keep HaShem's Laws , This Choice , if we choose wisely and correctly , Will Bring us , From HaShem , Untold Brochas and is True Life and Living . To disobey , which is akin to not Living , for it goes against the very pathway to Life , of Torah and Creation , brings with it the opposite , which is , ' Not Living , ' and so is a path to Negativity and Curse . HaShem Wants us to Choose Life . HaShem Wants us to Choose to better ourselves , but the choice is ours . Torah Is Revelation . In Each And Every Word Of The Holy Torah Of HaShem , Is HaShem's Revelation And Light . Har Sinai , HaShem's Revelation , Carries Through , in every Mitzah we keep . In Every Word In Torah That HaShem Writes . In Every Commandment From HaShem , that we do . Har Sinai is always with us , as long as we choose to obey HaShem And HaShem's Holy Torah . Torah is Life . HaShem's Gift Of Torah , Is HaShem's Pathway For us to The Light , to True Life , To HaShem , Who Awaits our very love , that we all , deep down want to show HaShem . So let us all , always choose , to ever keep climbing higher and higher " Behar , " - " The Mountain , " working ever closer and closer To HaShem And HaShem's Light . HaShem's Beautiful Radiant Holy Light . Let us all choose Life , True Eternal Life , In The Arms Of HaShem's Love . I wish Most Beloved HaShem With Forever And Eternal Sweetest Love , A Most Beautiful And Special Shabbos Kodesh With Eternal Deepest Love and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Most Special and Holy Sweet Shabbos Kodesh With Love .
