Portion Bamidbar in Israel - Bechukow Thai in the Diaspora - why donate to the Temple
 
 
 
So the earlier (way ahead of) things, this week's portion,Bamidbar - read in Israel tomorrow , talks about counting and recounting the Children of Israel in the Sinai Desert.
 
 
The  portion read this week in the Diaspora - Bechukothai -  talks about valuations of different kids of donations to the Temple.
 
 
So tell me if you can - is the Temple Cult all about money? 
 
 
Nothing could be further from the truth if you realize that the Torah is a SPIRITUAL GUIDE, not just a bunch of rules.
 
 
Every person in every status has a value - and that value can be connected to the Jewish Enterprise.
 
 
Every person in Judaism's philosophy - COUNTS - and the numbers are grouped by tribe as well as total individuals -
 
 
So we will all know that we count - BOTH BY OURSELVES  AND TO THE GROUP.
 
 
Donating makes one more committed to the whole of Israel - and makes you feel well also!
 
 
So - know G-d thinks of EVERY PERSON,
 
and about EVERY GROUP,
 
and CONNECT yourself to the holy groups and get closer to G-d in every way.
 
Shabbat Shalom,
