Torah Portion of Bamidbar

 

Torah Portion of Bamidbar

The Israelites were in the desert 40 years - with NO NEIGHBORS - but praying all the time 

Just to become NOT a nation like all others, but a TEACHER OF VALUES to ALL NATIONS 

In the words of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach: 

Dear friends
Everybody knows what Rashi and the Medrash says (in) this week (‘s PORTION of the Torah) 

TOV LZADIK VTOV LSHCHEUNO!,
(If you are righteous yourselves – so it will be for your neighbors) 

In the desert the neighbours of. MOSHE AND AHARON became giants in Torah by simply being in their holy neighborhood, 

(so) now in the Yomtov Shavous we learn the essence of giving over the Torah to our children and Talmidim,
by making sure that they are in a good neighborhood of GOOD PEOPLE, 

(and) by us being mamesh holy and pure – 

so this will be embedded in their hearts and soul to always do good 

and also be good neighbors to others omein
