Thoughts from Rabbi Doug…
Parshat
Naso
The Torah, in repeating the
twelve tribes’ offerings in Parshat Naso, and spending six verses on each one,
leaves us with a message that is as powerful as it is
pertinent. Many of our deeds are repeats of generations passed. Many
are repeats from yesterday. They are all beloved and cherished. Day after day
after day. Hashem wants to hear and see the exact same prayer, blessing
charitable action over and over again. It is as dear as the first time. We are
well to remember that even though sometimes things seem to be redundant, that
to Hashem each and every word we say to him
and every Mitzvah we
do is precious, and the “Schar” (reward)
for reciting
and performing them with “Kavana” is
immeasurable.

Summary of Parshas Naso By, Rabbi Doug Zelden
Numbers
4:21
Page 586 in the Hertz Chumash
1st Aliya: The Levite family of Gershon is assigned to carry the curtains and tapestries of the Mishkan. The Levite family of Merrari is assigned to carry the beams, poles, and sockets that comprised the walls of the Mishkan. Pg. 586 Ch.4:21
2nd Aliya: The Levite families of Gershon and Merrari are counted. Pg. 587 Ch.4:38
3rd Aliya: The laws regarding sending out of the
camp: the Mitzora, the Zav (a type of discharge), and anyone who has come in
contact with a dead body, are stated. The law of stealing from a
convert (making restitution if someone steals from a convert who then dies
without any heirs)
is
commanded. Pg. 588 Ch.5:1
4th Aliya: The laws and procedures for the Sotah -
the accused adulteress; and
the Nazirite are explained. At the end of this Aliya we see that Aharon and his descendants
are given the exclusive duty to bless the people with the famous words of the Priestly
Blessing. Pg. 589 Ch.5:11
5th Aliya: The Korbonos offered by the princes of each
Shevet at the inauguration of the Mizbeach
are listed. (This is the beginning of the Torah readings of Chanukah)
This Aliya includes the gifts of

6th Aliya: The offerings of day six through ten are delineated in this Aliya. Pg. 599 Ch.7:42
7th Aliya:. The offerings of days eleven and twelve are listed, followed by a grand total of the gifts given by each tribe, and the anointing and dedication of the Mizbeach. Pg. 600 Ch.7:72
Maftir Aliya:.We repeat the last three verses. Pg. 601 Ch.7:87
Haftorah
Naso Shoftim
(Judges) 13:2 Page 602 in the Hertz Chumash
Around
the year 2790 - 971 b.c.e., the Bnai Yisroel were subject to the rule of the
Pilishtim. In the year 2810
- 951, Shimshon became the Judge - Shofet of the nation and served his people as both their greatest Tzadik and
greatest warrior. This week's Haftorah tells the story of Manoach and his wife, the parents of
Shimshon (Shoftim Cap. 13). Manoach's wife was barren, and in response to her
Tefilos, Hashem sent an Angel, disguised as a man, to tell Manoach's wife of
her impending pregnancy. The child would have to be a Nazir from the moment of
his conception, and he would grow up to save the Jews from their enemies.
Manoach requested from Hashem that the "man" appear a second time,
and the Angel appeared a second time. The same instructions were repeated to
both Manoach and his wife, after which Manoach invited the "man" to
join them for a meal. The "man" refused the invitation but suggested
to Manoach that he offer a Korban to Hashem. Manoach did so, and as the flame
rose to consume the offering, the "man" entered the flames and
disappeared. Manoach and his wife then realized that the "man" was
really an Angel, and understood the divine significance of their, yet to be
born, child. The connection to our Parsha is the fact that Shimshon was to be a
Nazir. The commentaries explain that in contrast to the laws of the Sotah - the
accused adulteress, it was the merit of Manoach's wife which brought about the
birth of Shimshon. Shimshon is among the most difficult figures in Jewish
history to understand.
