Good Shabis Pashas Bamidbar Shabas Mavarchum Sivan, and this week it is in honor and La Il Nishmas, my father-in-law, Dr. Bert Brown, a kind soul with a big smile, was always doing a chesed for others, who passed away this past Monday when we read about the elevation that the Bene Isral got through counting, and Barak ben Saraleya was elevated to the next world. May his Nishama have an aliyah, and may he be a good tibetar and advocate for his family for good. Amen. This week will be God willing a special Shabbos. The president announced that everyone should celebrate this Shabbos for the 250th year since America was founded. And the Mahus, the essence of America, the Frida Karebis said after visiting Philadelphia, is inscribed on the Liberty Bell from the words from last week's Parsha regarding Yvonne. And we are living in Mashiach's times where the leader of the free world is mandating the observance of Shabbos. Amazing. The beauty of this Parsha is shown by celebrating each person as a unique count and each shavit with their own individual flag, and collectively as a unified front that all of us camped around the Mishgan, being God-centric. So both components, our individuality and uniqueness, were focused on a common goal to serve Hashem and bring out the best in each of us. So too, on a separate note, the Froom Health Club is starting a 10,000-foot challenge this Sunday to get us all more healthy and in shape to serve Hashem. And how you get there, that is up to you, whether you walk, run, or skip. Just have fun doing it in your own way. And Parshis Bamidbar is always read before Shavuas, reminding us how Amidbar, a desert, a wilderness, is central to Yiddishgite. This new safer, Bamidbar, is where the Yiddin made the covenant with Hashem and received the Terah. It also provides the setting for four of the five books of Terah. We are a unique people, that our law, the Tarah, preceded the land. Every other nation starts with the land and then forms a legal system. In other words, first the land, then the law. The fact is that by us, Tarah was given in the Midbar, the desert, before they even entered the land, which meant that the Yiddin were able to survive with their identity intact, even in Gallus, because since Tarah came before the land, even when we lost the land, we still had our essence, the Tarah. And Bar Hashem, we have the land again. Furthermore, Rabbi Sak says, there is a connection to Midbar, Desert, and Davar. It's the same word. That the emptiness of the Midbar, Hashem revealed himself through speech. As we say, Shma Yisrael, listen and internalize Hashemad. The desert became the birthplace of a new relationship between us and Hashem through the words of Tarah. We also see that all the sick and crippled Jews were healed when the Torah was given, since everyone who was counted was able to serve in the army, despite living in the difficult conditions of the desert. And the Rebbe says, because of our connection to Hashem through Tarah and Mitzvis, we are not bound by the laws of nature. And this holds true today, he says, to the extent that if we live our lives bound to the Tarah, we too will be blessed with spiritual and physical health, despite any obstacles that the laws of nature challenge us. And being that we are still in the month of Ear, Ani Hashem Refecha, may all those who need a Rafu Shalema and comfort get one from Hashem, and may we all encourage everyone to keep the Shabbos and be healthy, getting us close to celebrate Shavuas, the giving of the Tarah with Mashiach. Amen.
