Portion of Bamidbar

Portion of Bamidbar
Thanks for a seed of an idea shlomo ressler - and thanks for the power of the Torah from Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach
 
Where does the Torah say "raise up"?
 
In this week's portion the Almighty tells Moses to "Raise (all) the heads " of the Israelites - by counting them.
 
Where else does it use that word? IN THE PRIESTLY BLESSING
 
"yi sa hashem panav ailecha" which Rabbi Carlebach explained meaning
 
Hashem will raise you up so he can bless you face to face!
 
So in Bamidbar we see that EVERYONE COUNTS
 
and in the priestly blessinsg we see that the Almighty wants to LIFT EVERYONE UP
 
TO BE ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL TO COMMUNE WITH Hashem.
 
As Rebbe Nachman says - that's why we're all here.
At Sinai we received the gift of MAJESTY - now we 
(ALL OF US) need to use that majesty
 
TO UPLIFT THE WORLD.
 
Shabbat Shalom - Chag Samayach - have a Happy Shavuote
