This Shabbos we read Parashas Beha'aloscha . The previous Sedra ended with the Tribal Leaders bringing their offerings and thereafter , Did HaShem Speak With Moshe From The Top Of The Cover That Was On The Ark Of The Testimony , From Between the two K'ruvim . The only Tribe that had not been called upon Spiritually to bring their offering , was the Tribe of Levi . Moshe's brother Aharon felt that he had not been called upon with his Tribe of Levi , assuming That HaShem May Still Be Upset With him about the Chait Ha Aigel , the Golden Calf and so , our Rabbonim teach us That HaShem Started Out this Sedra , With A Very Special Mitzvah For Aharon and the Tribe of Levi . HaShem Spoke To Moshe , Telling him To speak to his brother Aharon that " Beha'aloschah " - " That when he kindles " " the Lamps , toward the face of the Menorah shall the seven lamps cast light . " This would not be like the once off offering that each of the Tribes gave , but that this Very Special Offering action of Aharon's would be a Continuing Mitzvah . The Menorah would have , among the Levites , a Very Special Connotation , for at a later date , the descendants of Aharon , the Levites of the Chashmonayim , the Hasmoneans would , on Chanukah , come and rededicate the Menorah . We all remember The Beautiful Miracle From HaShem , of the one cruze of pure Olive Oil that lasted much longer than it would have or could have , for the full Eight days . The Love And Mercy Of HaShem Is Endless . May we all always follow HaShem And HaShem's Holy Torah Commandments and Obey HaShem Only . The Haftorah of this Portion is Zechariah 2 : 14 - 4 : 7 and just as with the Torah Portion , The Haftorah also speaks of the Menorah . Aharon would every day clean out the Menorah and re kindle it and as Ohr HaChaim puts it , it would be like building a new Menorah every day , by his lighting . The face of the Menorah refers to the Central Stem where the other Lights would be directed toward It . The Central Stem is like the one that represents our soul within us , That Is Part Of HaShem's Love and is thus like The Face Of HaShem Looking Within and From Within us all . The Menorah had to be of one hammered out piece of gold , all of one piece , just as we are to be At One With HaShem and at one with our fellow Jews , United With HaShem , United With HaShem's Holy Torah . In the Hebrew , before the word " P ' nei " - " Face of " are the words " El Mul , " which actually means " Opposite to " and thus shows us that when we are standing opposite To HaShem , facing HaShem , standing In Front Of HaShem , HaShem Facing us , it means that our face , faces HaShem and so , we are standing Toward HaShem . This is how we must always be , Facing HaShem and never turning away from HaShem . All our actions must always be Toward HaShem For HaShem Is Always In Front Of us . The Menorah was so detailed That HaShem Showed what it looks like To Moshe when Moshe was on the Mountain , for Moshe asked for an explanation of it and how it was to look so that Moshe could understand the Menorah's Holy detail . The picture of the Menorah does not appear among the Script Of The Torah , only a comment That HaShem Had Shown It To Moshe . This shows us that there is more within the Torah That HaShem Told Moshe to write in words And These Other Things That Moshe Was Taught And Told Were Thus Told Orally In Depth Coming Down To us via the Oral Torah - ' Torah She Be Al Peh , ' Depths Within The Written Word ' Torah She Bichtav . ' So to learn The Holy Torah , we must study It in depth , word by word and letter by letter and all that are within and our Oral Torah explanations given originally By Moshe Rabbeinu , From HaShem's Mouth To Moshe and from Moshe's mouth down the generations till today and beyond . So Moshe made the Menorah and all that it was to contain on it , out of one hammered out piece of Gold . Though HaShem Gives us His Light Of His Most Holy Shechinah , Within the Holy of Holies , HaShem , Wanting us to be at one With Him And His Light , Still Asks us to contribute to This Light , by us kindling our own light , for Light is like our Neshoma , our Soul within us and we are to raise this Light of our soul , via Torah Observance and Obedience To HaShem and so , Join As One , With HaShem's Eternal Light . HaShem Then Asks Moshe To Purify and Consecrate the Levites into the Service . Aharon and Moshe was to wave them as a Wave Service before HaShem . This gives us an idea of how strong Moshe and Aharon was , for Moshe and Aharon had to lift and wave each Levite in one day and that means , they lifted and waved , on their own , With HaShem's Help , 22 000 Levites in one day . HaShem Then Explains the age of and work of the Levites . HaShem Teaches Also About The Passover Offering and how we are to make the Pesach Offering . There were , at that time , some men who had been contaminated by a human corpse . Our Rabbis tell us that these were either the men that were handling and carrying Yosef's coffin , or they were men that had come across a corpse that they buried , for It Is A Mitzvah to bury an unattended corpse and so they were not pure enough to make the Pesach Offering on that day of the 14th of Nissan , so in honour of them and their coming to ask , out of eagerness to do the Mitzvah , on their own volition , HaShem Taught us Of Pesach Sheni , where a month later on the 14th of Iyar , they were to make this offering and eat it with matzos and bitter herbs . HaShem Gave Signs To the Children of Israel , so that they would know when to journey and when to wait and encamp . When The Cloud Covered the Tent of The Tabernacle , then we would encamp and when the Cloud Lifted off of the Tent of the Tabernacle , we would journey . Sometimes , it might cover the Tent of The Tabernacle for only a day and then lift and so we would then start to journey again and sometimes it would rest on the Tent of The Tabernacle for a longer period , like for example when we were in Kadesh , it rested and so did we encamp there for 19 years . All Was Up To HaShem , For HaShem Alone Knew what was up ahead and how long we would need to wait at each station , for as we were traveling toward Canaan , so were other things going on in the area , so we relied in pure Faith In HaShem on when to go and when to wait . If only today we could have the same Faith In HaShem , Who Knows Best About our future and so , we too need to trust HaShem every step of the way And Let HaShem Guide us Toward our destination and we need to realize that should we be delayed , we need to trust In HaShem Knowing Best And Watching Over us In His Tender Loving Care , For HaShem Knows All . HaShem Instructs Moshe To make two silver trumpets which , according to different signals of tone , would tell the Children of Israel , different commands related to travelling and which Tribes were to travel and also other indications That Torah Mentions for the different sounds blown with these trumpets , like the entire assembly needing to assemble or the leaders needing to assemble , different blasts sounded for the different directions encamping to assemble and even when needing to wage war and also on Days of Gladness and Festivals and New Moons the trumpets are to be sounded over the Elevation Offerings and Feast Peace Offerings . How Beautiful And Sweet And Holy Is HaShem And HaShem's Holy Torah And HaShem's Beautiful Holy Righteous Commandments . In this Sedra , in Bamidbar 10 : 35 - 36 , are two verses that have before and after them an inverted letter Nun . The reason for this is that these two verses Of HaShem's Holy Torah are considered in deep learning , a separate Book Of The Torah , thus making in actual fact , Seven Holy Books Of The Holy Torah . Within the verses of The Torah , are breaks in the scripts and the letter Nun , being 50 in Gematriah shows that these verses are 50 sections away from the section of the Carrying of the Ohel Mo'ed , where this section actually belongs ( in Bamidbar 2:17 ) , thus showing That HaShem Delayed this section in The Torah , by 50 Parshiyos . Also , the letter Nun , being 50 , shows that we would have straight away gone over the Jordan River ( which is 50 amos wide ) into Canaan at that time had the incident of the spies which comes up soon in Torah , not have taken place , where B'nei Yisrael actually turned their backs On HaShem , shown by the inversion of the letter Nuns . ( Midrash Says - Bamidbar - Rabbi M Weissman ) . " " The people , " as The Torah refers to them , are the Eirev Rav , the Mixed Multitude , which were the ones who took to complaining about the Manna That HaShem Beautifully Gave us and the people desired Meat . They could not just shecht their own animals , for as our Rabbis tell us , at the time , meat from them could only be eaten when it became part of a Korban that permitted the eating of a portion of it , though the people desired Meat , for they were not Spiritually Holy enough to appreciate the Spiritual Holiness of the Mannah That HaShem Sweetly Provided For us On A Bed Of His Loving Dew , every day . The Mannah was so called , because when it first came down for us , This Holy Food From Heaven , that gave off no waste part when eaten but was completely absorbed in health by the body , the people at first did not know what it was and when they first saw it they said , ' Man hu , ' - ' What is this , ' for many of them were not on a Spiritual Level high enough yet to fully appreciate It and they could not understand It's Holy Depths and so , did it get called " Mannah . " It could take on the taste of any food that a person thought of while eating It and some even prepared It in different ways , showing that they did not appreciate It's full beautiful Spiritual Holy Taste on It's own . The Holier among the Children of Israel did not have to do anything to prepare It . They just ate the Mannah As It Was Given By HaShem and were able to taste Its Taste beyond the human Physical need and thus could taste It's Holy Taste , in a Spiritual Physical way . The people complained about The Mannah and so Moshe complained to HaShem why they had been put on him . HaShem Told Moshe To pick Seventy men ( like the 70 Sarim angels of the 70 nations ) and like the members of the Sanhedrin with an extra one - with another one at their head - as Moshe was at their head ( Midrash Says Bamidbar - R Weissman ) . When Moshe asked which to choose , he Was Told to take those that had taken the blows for our people in Egypt under the taskmasters when they had decided not to put us in trouble when we were asked to go and make bricks without straw and so they were rewarded now , by having some of Moshe's Spirit be put on them to help him . Yet like a candle that is not diminished by lighting other candles , so was Moshe's Spirituality not diminished by Moshe giving some of his Spirituality to them , Even Though HaShem Had Increased his spirit . HaShem Became Angry With the people and this was one of the Ten Times that we tested HaShem in the Wilderness . Out of the people that were part of the 70 , two of them Eldad and Medad were overly humble and so they remained in the camp . Because of their greater humility , HaShem Increased their prophecy beyond the other Elders and so they remained behind to prophesy in the Camp , Eldad prophesying Moshe's death and Eldad and Medad , prophesying the war that Moshe would overcome with Sichon and Og , both also foreseeing the war at the End of Days with Gog and Magog ( Midrash Says Bamidbar - R . Weissman ) . Both Eldad and Medad outlived the other Elders . Moshe's son Gershom , as the youth mentioned in The Torah , felt for his Father and came and told his Father Moshe and Yehoshuah , who was there , asked for their incarceration , thinking that they had wrongly prophesied in front of their Rebbe Moshe , something one Halachically does not do , but Moshe , in all his humility , thought humbly less of himself than others and more for his people and selflessly said , that all Israel should be prophets like this , even if prophesying Moshe's death , just as long as we all follow HaShem Wholeheartedly . What a beautiful selfless soul is beloved Moshe Rabbeinu . HaShem Brought the Slav which was the Quail and it descended on the camp and came so abundantly that the people got punished with it , till it was coming out of their teeth and once consumed , extended their stomachs , just like what happens to the unfaithful Sotah , for the people , in asking for meat and the vegetables they claimed to have gotten in Egypt , was certainly a lack of gratitude and faithfulness In HaShem . The place was called Kibrot Hattaavah - Place of the Lusters ( Rashi ) . After the 70 Elders were appointed , Miryam commented to Tzipporah , Moshe's wife , how Blessed their wives will be , but Tzipporah commented that it would be otherwise , for they would not come near their wives either , just as Moshe does not . Miryam , in the presence of Aharon and in the earshot of Moshe , commented how she and Aharon have not left their spouses , even though they too receive prophecy . Her intention was not a bad one , for she hoped to fix things for Tzipporah and she did speak in the earshot of Moshe ( Midrash Says - Bamidbar - R. Weissman ) . HaShem Summoned them , for Moshe had not responded , So HaShem Responded For him . Moshe was left in the Tent of Meeting When HaShem Spoke To Aharon And Miryam , Explaining To them , That what Moshe does re Tzipporah , is totally correct , For At Any Time , HaShem Comes And Speaks To Moshe and so Moshe must always be ready and totally pure , unlike anyone else . Both Aharon and Miryam were both stricken with Leprosy , but the Leprosy for Aharon lifted straight away , for it was Miryam who first spoke out . Aharon begged Moshe to pray for Miryam's healing . Humble Moshe Begged HaShem To Heal her . Miryam was quarantined outside the Camp for seven days and the whole of K'lal Yisrael waited for her . The waiting for Miryam by the whole nation , was a reward for Miryam , who waited and watched over Moshe for 15 minutes , when Moshe was small and put upon the Nile in a wicker basket , before Basya drew Moshe from the water . Miryam , after she was healed , so was her skin cleared as a youth , yet she was sickly for a lot of her life before due to her overworking in Egypt as one of the women who saved the Jewish babies with her Mom Yocheved as the two Jewish mid-wives Shifrah and Puah , even as Miryam was at such a young age , so had she remained unmarried for so long until Kaleiv , who was much younger than her , saw her true Spiritual Beauty and after he married her , years later , her health was restored . Out of Miryam and Kaleiv , came their grandson Betzalel , who at 13 years of age , built the Mishkan . So ends this Holy Parsha . The Path To HaShem's Light Is Through Selfless Humility And total Faith In HaShem . Every Mitzvah that we do Goes Straight Up To Shamayim Heaven . Every Action that we do is accounted . Every time that we do a Mitzvah , we light up our soul brighter than before , on it's journey , as it yearns To Join With HaShem . Every Moment That HaShem Gives us , Is An Opportunity To Lift And " Beha'aloscha " And " Kindle " The Flame Of our Life Soul Within us To Reach Closer To HaShem . If we all could do all we are supposed to do , then we would all , come together and bring Creation ( like the one hammered out piece of Gold of the Menorah ) , To The Oneness Of HaShem . The Word That HaShem Chose For " Kindling " Is " Beha'aloscha " where , in Ivrit , " Kindling " is actually ' Lehadlik . ' So Why Did HaShem Choose This Word " Beha'aloscha ? " Within This Word , is the word ' Alei ' which means ' To go up / To reach High Holy and Spiritual Heights . ' This is what happens when we keep HaShem's Holy Torah Commandments , for we lift ourselves Up Toward The Heights And Raise our levels of holiness and the Mitzvah of Lighting The Holy Menorah , is one of us giving ourselves over totally To HaShem's Light And Torah Commandments and like the Wicks of The Menorah that ' Alei ' - ' Rise Upwards , ' so do we raise ourselves , Pointing Upwards , ever journeying Toward HaShem . As The Candle always burns upwards , so should we ensure that our every action is one that faces and carries us Upward On High , that every action and Mitzvah that we do is done ' Leshem Shamayim ' - ' For The Sake Of Heaven , ' For HaShem , that every Mitzvah and action that we do carries us Up Closer Towards HaShem . The Torah Is A Light And The Pathway To HaShem , just as a Candle's light burns upwards , For With HaShem's Holy Torah , we travel Up Towards HaShem And Join With HaShem's Holy Light . The Word " Beha'aloscha , " is 527 in Gematriah and when we add 5 + 2 + 7 , we get a total of 14 ( 10 and 4 ) . The numbers 10 and 4 come to the letters Yud and Dalet which spells two words ' Yad ' and ' Dai . ' The word ' Yad ' Means ' Hand ' and represents The Hand Of HaShem . The word ' Dai ' means ' Enough ' and thus has reference to The End Of Days , when the Physical World will have reached its End , when it will have been ' Enough ' that was done , so that The End Of Days can come , When HaShem Carries us Up Toward Him With His Hand . Thus in " Beha'aloscha " - " Kindling " the Lamps , It Is The Pathway Via HaShem's Eternal Light , To Reach The End Of Days , when we can all Rest Lovingly In The Hand Of HaShem . If we take the 1 and add it to the 4 , 1 + 4 = 5 . Avraham , who brought the Shechinah back to Earth , brought Out The Light Of HaShem , in bringing people back To HaShem And HaShem's Oneness . How interesting it is , that Avraham's name in Gematriah comes to 248 and 2 + 4 + 8 = 14 , where 1 + 4 = 5 , for Avraham was also a light to bring all back To HaShem . Also , the Fifth Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is the Letter ' Hei ' and the ' Hei ' sound when saying this letter , Is Representative Of The Breath Of HaShem , Where HaShem Breathed Life Into All Of His Creation . So the very Lighting and " Beha'aloscha " - " Kindling " of the Menorah , Is Like HaShem's Breath Of Light That Shines Out His Light Of Wisdom To Creation . This is also why the window frames of the Temple , were different sizes within , then they were without , For HaShem's Light Shines Out To Creation . So that we all can do as Avraham did and bring the Light Of HaShem , HaShem's Breath Of Light , like the Light of the Menorah , into everyone we meet , by working To Bring HaShem Into every corner and person in this World , teaching all those around us , about The Oneness Of HaShem and so , be like the Lamps on The Menorah that lean toward HaShem and become One With HaShem , just like one hammered out piece of gold , teaching us that we are to give of ourselves and the light of our Neshoma , Toward HaShem's Creation , so that Creation can all be One With Our Beloved Creator , HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Be He . I wish Most Beloved HaShem With Sweetest And Deepest Forever Eternal Love , A Beautiful Sweet And Special Shabbos Kodesh With Eternal Love and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .
