Parashat Bemidbar (Numbers 1:1-4:20) VIII

Luke Ford writes:

I discuss the weekly Torah portion with Rabbi Rabbs every Monday at 7pm PST on my live cam and on YouTube.

This week’s Torah portion is Parashat Bemidbar (Numbers 1:1-4:20).

* Tonight’s show comes from the House of Rabbs.

* Life is not mainly dramatic revelations from God. Life is mainly wandering in the wilderness, like this book.

* The tabernacle, and later the temple and the synagogue, serve as substitutes for and reminders of the divine revelation at Mount Sinai.
