so um hi everyone its Tara welcome to
our series of the Parsis this week we
begin reading Safra Bamidbar the Book of
Numbers Bamidbar means in the desert and
the book assets name from the first
verse in which god spoke to moshe in the
sinai desert Bamidbar is also known as
the Book of Numbers because it begins
and ends with a detailed census of
Israel and this is exactly where we're
going to focus on today counting and
recounting it census Rashi in his first
comment on Sacramento in the Book of
Numbers he points out a connection
between a repeated act of counting in
love because Israel is so dear to God
that he counts them every now and then
let me give you a few examples when they
went forth from Egypt
Hashem counted them when many fell in
consequence of having worshipped the
golden calf he counted them to know the
number of survivors when he was about to
make his Shekinah his divine presence
rest amongst them he commanded them to
build a tabernacle and again took their
senses and shortly afterwards on the
first day of the Hebrew month ever he
counted them as well clearly we see that
one counts and recounts that which he
cherishes God refers to his people as
the apple of his eyes
happy are those who understand this how
much has he protected earns how much has
he kept the safe how much has he been
providing for us God loves his affection
on us and we are counted and recounted
through his endless love perhaps this is
also a good week to cherish and count
someone you love and care about
