Naso | Numbers 4:20 – 7:89

Parashat Naso features text that everyone remembers: the language of the Priestly Blessing. This blessing exists even today, as priests in 21st century synagogues will bless the people on special occasions. But this blessing differs inside the land of Israel and outside of the land.

Listen to Shmuel’s explanation to discover:

·      The importance of location

·      Commentary on the Priestly Blessing

·      The only commandment given “with love”

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Shavuot!
