Torah Thoughts from Rabbi Doug…
Parshat Bamidbar
Much of Parshat Bamidbar is devoted
to a census of the tribes of Israel, the place of each one in the formation of
the camp, & their position in the march towards Israel. But it says, the
tribe of Levi “was not counted among them.” Yet we know Levi was counted twic!
Unlike the other tribes, who were counted once, from the age of 20-60 years of
age (the age of military service), the Levi’im were counted from as young as 1
month old (when a human being becomes viable); then were counted again, from
the ages of 30-50, when their various responsibilities in the Mishkan were
lessened. The Torah explains that the
unique significance of the Levi’im derived from two sources: The first was that
they steadfastly stood beside Hashem & refused to participate in the sin of
the Golden Calf. By doing so, they replaced the first-born, who were the
original “spiritual elite” of the nation, but had lost their status due to
their involvement in that sin. Secondly, they – like their ancestral head of
the family, Moshe Rabbeinu – were the Torah teachers of the nation, & were
meant to live throughout the country, in 48 cities interspersed among the
tribes, educating & motivating the nation in its adherence to G-d’s ways.
In this sense, while it’s true they had no specific portion in the Land, in
reality they were in every portion. “Where it counts, they counted!”

Summary of Parshat Bamidbar By, Rabbi Doug Zelden
Numbers 1:1
Page 568 in the Hertz Chumash
1st Aliya: Moshe is commanded to count all males over the age
of 20, 2 years after leaving Egypt,
on Rosh Chodesh Iyar. Pg. 568 Ch.1:1
2nd
Aliya: The total, not including Shayvet Layvie, was
603,550. He registers them all according
to their paternal ancestry. The total number of Jews was around 3 million. Pg.570 Ch.1:20
3rd
Aliya: The tribes are each assigned their position within
the camp, and in the order of
the traveling. Pg.572 Ch.2:1
4th
Aliya: In preparation for separating the tribe of Layvie,
the Torah establishes Aharon's
genealogy. Although the Kohanim were also from the Tribe of Layvie, they were counted
by themselves. Pg.574 Ch.3:1
5th
Aliya: Moshe counts the Leviyim according to their three
basic families: Gershon, Kehas,
and Mirarri. Their individual responsibilities in transporting the Mishkan is
stated, and their
total was 22,000. Pg. 576 Ch.3:14
6th
Aliya: Being that the Leviyim were to be in direct exchange
for the first born, Moshe counts
all the first born in the rest of the nation.
Their total was 22,273. The extra 273 first born are instructed
to redeem themselves from Aharon the Kohain for 5 silver shekels. Pg. 577
Ch.3:40
7th
Aliya: The Parsha concludes with detailed instructions for
the family of Kahas. Their
primary responsibility was to transport the vessels of the Mishkan. Only Aharon
and his
sons were allowed to cover the vessels in preparation for transport. Once
covered, the family
of Kahas did the actual carrying. Pg.578 Ch.4:1
Maftir
Aliya: We repeat the last four verses of the portion. Pg.580
Ch.4:17
Haftorah Bamidbar Hosea 2:1-22 Pg.583 in the Hertz Chumash
The opening words of Hosea in this week’s Haftorah compare the future numbers of the Israelites to the sand of the sea. This connects to the Torah portion, which counted Bnai Yisrael in the wilderness. There are four underlying themes in Hosea’s words this week. Our destiny and glorious future, Our dark present, Hashem’s love for us, and the Fruits of Repentance. The Haftorah for Parshas Bamidbar can be found on page 583, in the Hertz Chumash.
