Parashat Bamidbar 5783: The Gift of Torah

This week’s Torah portion of Bamidbar begins with the counting of the Children of Israel, as they began their sojourn in the desolate, dangerous wilderness; a bleak and hostile landscape. Why does G-d count the Children of Israel before resting His Presence upon them, what is the connection between this census and the upcoming Festival of Shavuot… and why did G-d choose to give His gift of the Torah in the wilderness, of all places? The secret of the ‘great and awesome wilderness’ conveys a powerful message that aids each and every one of us to truly receive Torah in a personal and lasting way…on the level of the soul.
The portion of Bamidbar (Num. 1 : 1 - 4 : 20 ) is read on Shabbat, 29 Iyar, 5783 - May 20, 2023

❤ I have a great love for all the house of Israel. I am of the tribe of Joseph, through the loins of Ephraim. After earnesrltly fasting and praying for many days, I was led by the Spirit of God to read The Book of Mormon, and I recieved a witness from the Holy Ghost that it is from God. It has given me greater peace and additional understanding, and has brought me closer to the God of Israel. 😊

Before watching this teaching, I received this morning the understanding that Hashem is speaking to me and guiding me into His ways through Torah. I also understood it is now time - and I believe I am now ready - to put myself and all in Hashem's hands. Now I hear you saying the same. Shabbat Shalom Rabbi Richman.

These are my own observations from Torah study, but to hear this from the Rabbi makes it so much more.
Thank you Rabbi for opening my eyes.
