[Music] the fourth Aliyah the Aliyah of RI in the Aliyah of RI We Begin discussing the travels of B is and the Aliyah begins with the fact that there was a cloud that was always over the mishkan during the day and at night there was a fire that rested over the Mish and the cloud and the fire both represented the presence of hasem the of hem on the mishan and within B is says the Aliyah when the cloud lifted B is that was the signal for B is to travel and when the cloud rested that was the signal for B Israel to rest and to camp in that location in that place the Torah says that their travels varied sometimes they would travel for a day and then pick up and begin traveling again sometimes they would travel for a few days or weeks the amount of their travel time and the amount that they camped in any one particular location varied depending on what desired and what wanted after this discussion the Torah tells us that moshe's commanded to make which were silver trumpets these trumpets were blown by the kohanim and were used for four purposes as delineated by the PIM in the Torah number one for assembly when B were supposed to be gathered so then the Kohan would blow the and all the Jewish people would gather together for traveling when B was supposed to begin traveling the kohanim would blow and everyone would begin traveling when B went out to war the Kohan would blow and that was the signal for B to go out to war and then finally when bringing coros on the Y on the holidays and ones were blown as well one beautiful thought that we see coming from this from this alyah is based on the of that everything all of the travels of is in the midbar were based on the word of Hashem when Hashem decided they should travel they traveled when hasem decided they should Camp they camped there was a tremendous there was a tremendous unknown everything was unknown B is didn't know when they were going to travel for how long they were going to travel when they were going to camp for how long they were going to Camp everything was unknown but but at the end one thing that was known was Alem one thing that was known was that b is always recognized that they were led by Hashem and that's the lesson the message for us that despite all of the uncertainty that we have in our lives we always have to recognize that is always guiding us and if we have a as our Guiding Light then we'll be okay despite all of the uncertainty and no matter where we end up in life life [Music]
