Naso: Rav Moshe Wolfson Uncovers the Secret of the 176 Pesukim in the Parsha After Shavuos

We're familiar that parasi has 176ukim, but the number 176 finds its way commonly as the sum total of the largest amount of tyra that hashem bestows upon the Jewish people. So for instance, makabas has 176 blat of 176im as well as paras. In fact in the safer of he says this is our tradition. If someone could explain it his reward his reward will be doubled from heaven. What exactly is the significance of number 176? So in the past we've suggested that based on the bra that says has eight for each letter of the alif it's expounded into eight faces which indicates that the number 176 actually reflects the giving of the Torah in a supernatural way. We all know that the number 8 reflects the supernatural. There's seven days of the week. Mila is on the eighth day. Mila represents the supernatural. So 176 is the number eight for each letter of the alipace. It's so to speak a supernatural dose of Tyra. My friend Rabulan Rabinowitz from South Africa shared with me from the amunas. It's found on page that Ramosa Wolfson utilizing this idea that the number eight reflects Lamala Minhva says this is very connected to the aftermath of Shabuis. We know we just counted seven weeks until Cababal Saty Cabal Satara of course was on the 50th day so to speak the number eight we counted Shabbaso but there's another week that so to speak goes uncounted because this number is above and beyond mathematics the eighth week begins with the umpt of shvas and actually the garra tells us that during this eighth week if one did not have a chance to bring carbonis on shuis proper You have the whole week to bring the carbon ice. So the eighth week is so to speak a supernatural gift to afford the opportunity to achieve during the week perhaps what they were not able to achieve on the of Shivus itself. Likewise says Mosha Wolfson, even nowadays if a Jew feels that he was not able to achieve on Shabbus what he would have liked to, you so to speak have this entire week to make up and to achieve and to accomplish in closeness to the safer all but makes the point that he the leads us to this idea although I'm not sure it actually says it. How appropriate then that during the eighth week we read parasi which is the reflection of this supernatural gift of eight sukim for each letter of the alipes. In other words, paras is the most appropriate para to read in the aftermath of sh because the aftermath of sh is and paraso represents that eighth dimension of that is appropriate for this week. So this is another example of the idea that we've spoken about many times of that is appropriately laned eightim so to speak representative of each of the alip 176im for the eighth week in the week following the yumpt of so may we be z to take advantage of this extra opportunity and be mashim whatever we were unable to onus itself. Wishing everyone a good chabas.
