Naso (count) – Numbers 4:21 – 7:89

Shabbat Shalom

This week, we delve into one of the most iconic passages in the Torah—Birkat Kohanim, the Priestly Blessing. What gives this blessing its enduring power? And why, if it’s the priests’ duty to bless the people, are we commanded to thank them?

We explore the beautiful symbolism behind the ancient priestly hand gesture (yes, the one made famous by Star Trek!), and uncover how the blessing isn’t about the priest’s holiness—but about God’s presence shining through them.

What does it mean that God is “waiting behind the cracks”? And how does this sacred moment connect generations of Kohanim across millennia?

Join us as we reveal the divine layers within this beloved blessing, and what it teaches us about love, humility, and being vessels of light in the world.

Watch now and discover the spiritual depth of Parshat Naso!
