The Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Beha'aloscha . The previous Sedra ended with the Tribal Leaders bringing their offerings And Then 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 assumed , when he had not been called upon with his Tribe of Levi like the other Tribes bringing their offerings , 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 Beautiful Holy Menorah . We all remember The Beautiful Miracle From HaShem , of the one cruse 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 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 Beautiful Holy Menorah . Aharon would clean out the Menorah every day and re kindle it and as Ohr HaChaim puts it , it would be like building a new Menorah every day by his lighting It. The face of the Menorah refers to the Central Stem where the other Lights would be directed toward . 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 one piece , just as we are To Be At One With HaShem And Always Connected To HaShem and at one with our fellow Jews , United With HaShem , United And At One 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 " showing 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 Facing 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 So Moshe Was Thus Told via The Oral Torah - ' Torah She Be Al Peh , ' then what the written word ' Torah She Bichtav ' shows on the surface of the Words . 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 in and on it , out of one hammered out piece of Gold . Though HaShem Gives us His Light Of The Shechinah Within the Holy of Holies , HaShem , Wanting us to be At One With HaShem And HaShem's Light , HaShem 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 that they lifted and waved on their own , with HaShem's Help , 22 000 Levites in one day . How Sweet And Beautiful Are The Miracles Of Ever Beloved HaShem . HaShem Then Explains the age of and work of the Levites And HaShem Also Teaches 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 had 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 . Our Rabbonim teach us that it was in honour of them and their coming to ask how they can perform this Mitzvah out of eagerness to do the Mitzvah on their own volition , That 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 , then 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 travelling toward Canaan , so were other things going on in the area , so we relied on 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 realize that should we be delayed , we need To Trust In HaShem Knowing Best And Watching Over us In HaShem's 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 , certain commands of travel and readiness . If only today , we would put our full faith and trust In Ever - Loving And All Knowing HaShem . 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 The Holy Torah are considered in deep learning , a separate Book Of The Holy Torah , thus making in actual fact , Seven Holy Books of the Torah . Within the verses of The Holy 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 Holy 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 The Holy Torah , not have taken place , where B'nei Yisrael actually sadly 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 who wanted to come along with the Jews when we left Mitzrayim Egypt , which were the ones who took to complaining about the Manna That HaShem Beautifully Gave us and when 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 , yet 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 Shamayim 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 , some of them 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 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 It's Taste beyond the human Physical need and thus could taste It's 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 another 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 HaShem Increasing Moshe's Spirit , when Moshe gave 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 , as the youth mentioned in the Torah , Gershom 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 Moshe . HaShem Brought the Slav , the Quail and it descended on the camp and came with such abundance that the people got punished with it , till it was coming out of their teeth and once consumed , extended their stomachs , like what happens to the unfaithful Sotah , for the people , in asking for meat and the vegetables they claimed to have gotten in Egypt , had certainly showed 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 did not . Miryam , in the presence of Aharon and in the earshot of Moshe , commented how she and Aharon had 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 . So should we trust In HaShem Handling things for us and never take the physical act of revenge on one of our own people , As The Holy Torah Commands . Moshe was left in the Tent of Meeting When HaShem Spoke To Aharon And Miryam , Explaining To them That what Moshe did re Tzipporah , was totally correct For At Any Time Does 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 her by the whole nation was a reward for Miryam , for she had waited and watched over Moshe for 15 minutes when he was small and put upon the Nile , before Basya drew him from the water . So Does HaShem Reward Abundantly , More Than HaShem Punishes , for ever good that we do for HaShem and others . Miryam , after she was healed , also had her skin cleared just like the skin of 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 holy Ima Mom Yocheved , as the two Jewish mid-wives Shifrah and Puah , even though Miryam was at such a young age and so she had 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 . Out of such holiness comes holiness . May we remember this for our children and generations . So ends this Holy Parsha . The Path To HaShem's Light Is Through Selfless Humility And Total Faith In HaShem And In Keeping HaShem's Holy Commandments And Mitzvos . 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 would do all that we are supposed to do By HaShem's Command , 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 then we lift ourselves up toward the heights and raise our levels of holiness and the Mitzvah of Lighting the Menorah is one of us giving ourselves over totally To HaShem's Holy Light And HaShem's Holy 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 Upwards On High and make sure that every action and Mitzvah that we do is done ' Lesheim Shamayim ' - ' for the sake of Heaven ' For HaShem and 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 Torah , we travel Up Towards HaShem And Join With HaShem's 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 . How interesting it is that out of the 613 Mitzvos In The Holy Torah , there are 248 Positive Mitzvos and 365 negative Mitzvos Commandments that we Jews Are To Keep . Avraham was certainly a positive influence on all around him as he spent his life bringing people to HaShem The One And Only Creator . 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 all of His Creation . This is also why the window frames of the Temple were different sizes within , then they were from without , For HaShem's Light Shines Out To Creation . We all must do as Avraham did and bring The Light Of HaShem , His 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 Him , 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 Blessed Be He . I wish Most Everlasting And Beloved HaShem With Sweetest And Deepest Eternal And Forever Love , A Beautiful Special Sweet And Peaceful Shabbos Kodesh With Forever And Eternal Love and to all of my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Beautiful Blessed Special Holy Shabbos Kodesh with love .
