Parasha
Bamidbar-The Jewish people are now in the midbar .
In this week’s parsha we learn howmuch Hashem loves each and every Jew , that he keeps on counting them/us.
Men alone,ages 20-60 numbered 603,550! That is extremely incredible especially considering that there were also males ages 0-20 years and 60 and above, and as many females. This number 2as accumulated in only 210 years after a humble beginning of only 70 individuals who originally entered Egypt.
We learned about the encampment in the desert/wilderness and the order of travel.
Each camp had their own unique flag with colors and animals depicted on it. I heard from my son who heard from his Rebbie-Rabbi that the flag was there to remind all of them of their unique talents. We should all recognize our own talents and use them effectively to live a life of a proper Jew serving Hashem.
