Parashat Bamidbar: Preparation For Shavuot
Parshat Bamidbar is always read on the Shabbat before Shavuot. One reason is because this parasha shows Hashem’s great love for every Jew. Another census was taken here in parashat Bamidbar and Rashi writes, because Hashem loves us so much, He keeps counting us. That is supposed to arouse in us a genuine ahavat Yisrael for our fellow Jew. If Hashem loves my friends and neighbors so much, shouldn’t I love them as well? And that is the prerequisite for Matan Torah.
On Shavuot we became the Chosen People of Hashem. He gave us His precious Torah, the greatest gift ever given.
May we all merit to receive the gift of Torah from Hashem the way it is meant to be understood, amidst our genuine love for one another.
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Same’ach!!
