Words for the Week
Rabbi Yossi Jacobs, BHC Singers Hill Synagogue
We start the 4th book of the Torah this week as we read the Sedra of Bamidbar. This portion is usually read the Shabbat proceeding Shavout when we celebrate the receiving of the Torah. Bamidbar which means in the desert teaches us about why we received the Torah in the desert.
G-d specifically gave us the Torah on a piece of land belonging to no one. No Jew can claim more rights to the Torah than another or state that it was given on their families land. Rather we all have equal responsibility towards observing it. Another lesson is that the desert is empty land but when it's worked it becomes an oasis.
So too as we as human beings have the power to change both a spiritual and physical desert into an oasis.
This week, more then others, we saw how one human being could destroy whilst others who found themselves in the middle of an attack and tried to build by helping and supporting those who needed it most. In life each of us have the power to take a desert and make things grow.
