Parashah#34: B'midbar (In the desert) B'midbar (Numbers) 1:1-4:20 (2025)

In this parashah we will learn the importance of finding our "place" or "role" in G-d's plan through asking, seeking, and knocking (Matt.7:7-8). This subject is alluded to in our parashah in the narrative of the placement of the tribes around the Tabernacle directed by G-d, not man. 

We will discuss the future reunification of the 10 northern tribes (kingdom) including Ephraim and Menashe with Judah, Benjamin, and Levi which made up the Southern kingdom. This reunification also symbolizes the connection between repentance and the acquisition of G-d's Torah/instructions. The narrative that best describes this event is found in Ezekiel 37.
