Rav Yair Kahn | Parashat Bamidbar: Not Just Numbers | Even a superficial glance at Parashat Bamidbar reveals a basic difficulty. The counting and recounting of the people seems superfluous and trivial. | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
Rav Shimon Klein | Introduction to the Book of Bamidbar | Where do we encounter spirituality in the world? Where do we meet God? This is a fundamental question regarding man's existence, scale of values, cultural foundations, and way of life. | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
Rav Elchanan Samet | Who Needs This Census? | Sefer Bamidbar is known as the Book of Numbers for the lengthy censuses at its beginning and end; but while the Torah tells us why the latter count is necessary, no such explanation is apparent for the former, leading us to ask: who needs this census? | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |

Rabbanit Sharon Rimon | The Nation and the Shekhina in the Wilderness | Each of the five chumashim comprising the Torah is named after the first parasha in that chumash. The name of the parasha, in turn, represents one (or two) of the first words in the parasha. Seemingly, then, the name is arbitrary, devoid of any deeper meaning; but does the name "Bamidbar" ("in the wilderness") say anything about the content of this sefer? | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
Prof. Yonatan Grossman | The Census of the Leviim | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading | |
Rav Ezra Bick | The Leviim and the Firstborn | The opening parasha of Sefer Bamidbar is famous for being mostly a series of censuses, some quite detailed, of the entire Jewish people, of the individual tribes, of the Levites, and of the firstborn. The usual understanding of the divisions is that God likes to count the Jews (based on the Rashi to the opening verse), the firstborn were meant to be the servants of the mishkan and are here being switched with the Levites, because of their respective roles in the sin of the golden calf, and the Levites are not included in the general census because they are sanctified in place of the firstborn. I would like to show that these assumptions are either wrong or at least incomplete, and that is the theme of today's shiur. | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
Rav Amnon Bazak | The Status of the Tribe of Levi | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading | |
Rav Yehuda Rock | The Omer, the Counting of the Omer, and the Festival of Shavuot | The commandment of counting the omer, which we observe during this period of the year, is a peculiar one, and puzzling in its triviality. The required action consists of a technical, apparently meaningless utterance of the ordinal number of the day. Why does the Torah require such a technical act, and what significance can we attach to it? | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
Rav Yoel Bin-Nun | The Sanctity of the Camp in the Wake of the Setting Up of the Mishkan | In this shiur, we discuss a number of elements related to Parashat Bamidbar, including the parallel nature of Sefer Vayikra and Sefer Bamidbar, the role of the Levites, and the significance of the organization of the camp. | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
