http://conpats.blogspot.com/2019/06/chuck-kolb-06012019.html 

#ShabbatShalom - Welcome to our Torah study of this week’s portion of Scripture, which is called Bamidbar (In the Wilderness). Please read along and enjoy with us this Torah portion that will be read in synagogues around the world this Shabbat (Saturday).
We know you will be blessed! 



Last week, we finished studying the Book of Leviticus with Parasha Bechukotai. This week’s Torah study begins the fourth of the five books of Moses, Bamidbar, which means in the desert or wilderness.  While this name is taken from the fifth Hebrew word in verse one, it reflects one of the themes of this book. Bamidbar is called “Numbers” in English because the first four chapters mention censuses of Israelites, the first of which number the men who are able to bear arms. 

You can view this Parasha on our website complete with embedded links ...

Weekly Torah Portion: Bamidbar & Jerusalem Day Message
Israel arrived at Sinai a united nation, with one heart. Israel received Torah at Sinai with one heart. And now, as we open the book of Bamidbar (Numbers), Israel readies itself to proceed forward into the land of Israel, united and with one heart. This Sunday, on Jerusalem Day, which commemorates the liberation and unification of Jerusalem during the 1967 Six Day War, we will celebrate once again the unity of the people of Israel, which is the message and the magic of Jerusalem, the place of G-d's Chosen House.

Bamidbar (Numbers 1:3 - 4:20) Parashat Bamidbar was read in Israel on Shabbat: Iyar 26, 5779 / June 2, 2019

Jerusalem Day 2019/5779: Rejoicing on the Temple Mount
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wey0mUgoyVg (2:56) 6/2/19 
Despite previous announcements by the police that the Temple Mount would be closed to Jews this Jerusalem Day, due to it coinciding with the final days of Ramadan, more than 1000 Jews arrived at the foot of the Mount this morning, the police opened the gates, and all the Jews ascended the Temple Mount. There they celebrated and rejoiced in the miraculous liberation and reunification of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, 52 years ago, in the 1967 Six Day War. Rabbi Chaim Richman of the Temple Institute was among the 1,162 Jews who merited to ascend the Temple Mount this morning. We thank him for providing this footage. 

The Festival of Shavuot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yub6Y1gXi8 (18:19) 6/5/19 
Like the Torah itself, Shavuot, the holiday which celebrates the receiving of Torah at Sinai, is multifaceted. Not only does Shavuot merit a multiple of names, its meaning and its observance incorporate a multitude of messages. But ultimately, the unified message of Shavuot is to celebrate the receiving of Torah everyday, by making it come to life, in our lives, and in this world. Chag Sameach - have a happy and meaningful Shavuot!

Hillel Richman: The True Location of the Temple Mount: Fully Illustrated 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh5yQiPYuo0 (53:52) The Temple Institute 1/8/19 
Archaeologist Hillel Richman, Senior Researcher and Past Supervisor, Ancient Jerusalem Sifting Project and Temple Mount Sifting Project, refutes the spurious theories claiming that the Temple Mount was in any other place other than Mount Moriah, with an emphasis on the 'City of David' theory, while providing incontrovertible historical and archaeological proof that the Holy Temple was, and will be, located on what is today referred to as the Temple Mount. Hillel's talk is accompanied by more than 100 photos, illustrations and charts. This teaching was recorded on 11/11, 2018, in Lubbock, Texas.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, as Rena will explain, suffering and crisis and tragedy is universal. Adversary punctuates every day of our lives. We cry out "where is G-d?" "Are we beloved?" A study of the lives of our patriarchs and matriarchs, sheds light on the purpose of suffering and the path it can open before us, leading us closer to G-d. This teaching was recorded on 11/11, 2018, in Lubbock, Texas.

Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

The Coming Temple - Full Documentary 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKTO8YYs29c (48:17) NuBeat Music 12/21/16 
Filmed in the Old City of Jerusalem, this ground-breaking documentary investigates the research of renowned Biblical archaeologists, Bob Cornuke, David Sielaff and Earnest L. Martin who claim that Solomon and Herod's Temples never stood on the Haram al Sharif, also known as the Temple Mount. If they are right, then there is nothing to stop the Jewish people building their long awaited for Third Jewish Temple in the actual site where the Temples once stood.

America to ask Russia for Help Combating Iran in Syria
by JNS 

The United States plans to ask Russia to help combat Iranian forces in Syria, according to a senior Trump administration official, reported Reuters on Tuesday. The official remarked that the goal of “unprecedented diplomatic opportunity” in Jerusalem, where top security officials from the United States, Israel and Russia will meet later this month, is “to see how we can potentially work together to get rid of the primary irritant in the Middle East, which is the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

“This is the fourth fire to break out in 4 days, endangering residents and families, destroying years worth of work by farmers. The heart breaks,” Iyar Segal, a resident of the Itamar hills, said in an interview with Israel National News. “We expect the Civil Administration, the IDF and police to arrest the arsonists with a strong hand, and to assist the farmers and residents.”

Todah Rabah - beloved Ted Belman writing from Jerusalem, Israel for 17+ years ...  
THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION 


T. Belman writes,  I am totally against this bill for many reasons. 
1. It inteferes with the pressure Trump is applying to get the palestinians to stop financing terror. 
2. It ignores that the PA is indoctrinating its studends to make war, not peace. 
3. USAID has many projects in Area C contrary to Oslo. USAID and the State department are anti-Israel. 
4. There are no ‘Palestinian territories”. The money should be spent in Jordan.

Get Out - It is time for Jews to realize they are no longer welcome in American Universities
American universities have become whirlpools of downward mobility that target the people and
the ideas that they once cherished and protected. It’s time for Jews to stop paying for them.
 by Liel Leibovitz, TABLET
When I immigrated to America, 20 years ago this fall, I had just over $2,000 in my pocket that I’d saved working as a night watchman at a factory back home in Israel. I also had an inflatable mattress on the floor of a friend’s one-bedroom in White Plains, New York, and a promise that I could stay for two weeks, maybe three, until I found a place of my own. But most importantly, I had a story about my future.

Make It In a Skillet Shabbat Menu 
Parsha Bamidbar in English is referred to as the Book of Numbers, but the definition is actually In The Desert. The Jewish people are wandering on their way to the Holy Land. The destination is certain, but the path remains unclear. The Levites carry the equipment to construct and deconstruct the Mishkan and the 12 tribes following in tight formation. It reminds me of a picnic and it is the perfect time of year for just that. With this week’s Shabbat menu, we utilize the skillet.  These recipes can all be made in your skillet and the only one that requires you turn on the oven is the cake.

The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, "Take a census of all the congregation of the people of Israel, by clans, by fathers' houses, according to the number of names, every male, head by head." Numbers 1:1-2


Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Bamidbar - United Under One Authority !!!



  
Welcome to our Torah study of this week’s portion of Scripture, which is called Bamidbar (In the Wilderness).
 
Please read along and enjoy with us this Torah portion that will be read in synagogues around the world this Shabbat (Saturday).
 
Shabbat Shalom 
 
BAMIDBAR (In the Wilderness)
Numbers 1:1–4:20; Hosea 1:10–2:20 [2:1–2:22 in Hebrew Bible]; Romans 15:1–7
 
“Adonai spoke to Moses in the Sinai Desert [Bamidbar].”  (Numbers 1:1)
 
Last week, we finished studying the Book of Leviticus with Parasha Bechukotai.
 
This week’s Torah study begins the fourth of the five books of Moses, Bamidbar, which means in the desert or wilderness.  While this name is taken from the fifth Hebrew word in verse one, it reflects one of the themes of this book.
 
In
                    this Parasha, Adonai makes it a priority to create
                    an Israelite military force before they set out on
                    their journey through the wilderness to the Holy
                    Land.
In this Parasha, Adonai makes it a priority to create an Israelite military
force before they set out on their journey through the wilderness to the
Holy Land.

The Counting of the Army  
Bamidbar is called “Numbers” in English because the first four chapters mention censuses of Israelites, the first of which number the men who are able to bear arms.  An older Hebrew name for Bamidbar — Sefer Hapikudim (Book of the Countings) — also reflects this theme of counting.
 
In chapter one of Bamidbar, the Israelites are still camped at Mount Sinai after having received the law, built the Tabernacle, and having been instructed in worship.  Now, before they move forward to the Promised Land, they must be prepared for the threats that await on the journey.
 
The Lord commands Moses to take a census of all Israelite males able to bear arms from ages twenty and up.
 
“And so he counted them in the Desert of Sinai.”  (Numbers 1:19)
 
The census results reveal that the Israelites are mighty in number.  The men capable of battle are listed by tribe, totaling 603,550 men:
  • Reuben: 46,500
  • Simeon: 59,300
  • Gad: 45,650
  • Judah: 74,600
  • Issachar: 54,400
  • Zebulun: 57,400
  • Ephraim: 40,500
  • Manasseh: 32,200
  • Benjamin: 35,400
  • Dan: 62,700
  • Asher: 41,500
  • Naphtali: 53,400

The Elite Service of the Levites  
"In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to Him, and His resting place will be glorious."  
(Isaiah 11:10) 
 
The Levites are not counted in the census, since they are not to be conscripted into the military.
 
The Levites who descend from Aaron are anointed as kohanim (priests) and given priestly duties (Exodus 28:1, 29:9).
 
Those Levites who do not descend from Aaron function in subordinate roles to the Aaronite priests as their servants.  (Numbers 18:2–6)
 
These Levites replace the firstborn sons of Israel who were originally given these tasks, but they lost that privilege due to their worship of the Golden Calf.  The Levites, however, remained faithful during that time and earned God's favor.  (Exodus 13:2, 13:11–13, 32:25–26; Numbers 3:12–13)
 
As servants to the priests, the Levites are placed in charge of the furnishings and structure of the Tabernacle — taking it down, carrying it, and setting it back up as the Israelites moved through the wilderness.
 
This is such a holy assignment that only the Levites are allowed to approach the Tabernacle.  Any unauthorized person coming near would be punished with death.  (Numbers 1:47–51)

The Levites are also required to set up their tents around the Tabernacle (not in one location as the other tribes).  They form a barrier to prevent the Israelites from coming too close to the Tabernacle, which would cause the wrath of God to fall upon the Israelite camp. 
(Numbers 1:53) 
 
All Israelites are to camp at a specified distance from the Tent of Meeting — far enough away to protect the holiness of the Tabernacle and yet close enough for the Israelites to walk to the meetings.
 
“The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:  ’The Israelites are to camp around the Tent of Meeting some distance from it, each of them under their standard and holding the banners of their family.’”  (Numbers 2:1–2)
 
According to Divine placement, the 12 tribes of Israel camp beyond the Levite circle in four groups of three tribes each:
  • Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun to the East
  • Reuben, Simeon, and Gad to the South;
  • Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin to the West; and
  • Dan, Asher, and Naphtali to the North.
Because light comes from the East, that is where Moses, Aaron, and his sons camp, since they are great, holy men responsible for carrying the light of God to the nation.

Each tribe has its own prince or leader (nasi / Numbers 2:3) and distinctive flag or banner (degel / Numbers 2:2) with its own particular tribal emblem and color.  The colors are thought to correspond to the precious stones on the breastplate of the High Priest (Kohen HaGadol).
 
These symbols are considered a sign of God’s great love for each tribe of Israel, as it says in the Song of Songs:  “His banner [degel] over me is love.”   (Numbers 2:4)
 
Even while traveling, the Israelites kept to their particular formation around the Tabernacle.  According to Rabbinic commentary (Midrash), that formation allowed Korah (a Levite) to conspire with Datan, Abiram, and On (Reubenites) mutiny against the leadership of Moses.  
(Numbers 16:1) 
 
Since they lived in close proximity on the south side of the Tabernacle, they used the opportunity to foment a rebellion.
 
Of course, this is a perfect illustration of the importance of carefully choosing our companions.  The Bible teaches us that bad company corrupts good character.  (1 Corinthians 15:33)

Haftarah Prophetic Portion:  United Under One Authority 
“Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered.”  (Hosea 1:10 [2:1 in the Hebrew Bible])
 
Usually there is a common theme between the Parasha and the corresponding Haftarah (prophetic portion).
 
The connection in today’s study from the Book of Hosea (Hosea 1:10–2:20 [2:1–2:22]) is the wilderness and the numbering of the people of Israel.
 
Hosea, in fact, prophesies that Israel’s population will grow in number like the sand of the sea.

Hosea prophesies that the two houses of Judah and Israel will eventually be re-unified in the Messianic Era under a single leader, as also foreseen by Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Zechariah, among other prophets and writers.  (Daniel 7:13–14; Isaiah 9:6–7, 11:1–16; Ezekiel 37:1528; Zechariah 14)
 
This leader is Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah).
 
“And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head.  And they shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.”  
(Hosea 1:11 [2:2], also 3:3–5) 
 
Because of this theme of assembling together in unity under one head, this portion is read before Shavuot, the time when according to tradition all the children came as one people to receive the Torah at Mount Sinai.
 
Likewise, at Shavuot (also known as Pentecost), the disciples of Yeshua waited in unity of mind, heart, and purpose for the coming of Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit).  (Acts 1:14)
 
There is an anointing and blessing when we gather together in unity with those who love God.
 
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!  It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe.  It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.  For there the Lord bestows His blessing, even life forevermore.”  (Psalm 133)

Redemption and Marriage  
In this prophetic book, which is the first of the Trei Asar (Twelve Prophets)God uses Hosea’s marriage to a prostitute as a real-life parable to reveal His great love for Israel.
 
After Hosea’s wife bears him children, the Lord tells Hosea to send his wife and children away.
 
Hosea obeys, but declares his love for them, despite his wife’s straying.
 
Through this dispersion of his family, Hosea comes to understand God’s absolute commitment to Israel despite her straying.
 
With this insight, Hosea rebukes Israel for engaging in adulterous affairs with pagan deities and being an unfaithful spouse to the Lord.
 
And yet, just as Hosea takes back his wife who played the harlot, God promises to take back His unfaithful wife, Israel.  He promises that the Jewish People will repent and be betrothed to Him forever.
 
“I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion.  I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the LORD.”  (Hosea 2:1920 [2:21–22])
 
This concluding passage of the Haftarah is a wonderful prophecy of redemption, which is recited by Orthodox Jewish men each morning as they put on the tefillin (phylacteries).  
 
This traditional wrapping of the leather straps around the man’s fingers is similar to a groom placing the wedding ring upon his bride.  It is meant to be symbolic of the betrothal of God and Israel.

Many have falsely said that God is finished with His Chosen People; however, Bible prophecy clearly reveals that this will never be so.  In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving among His people to physically and spiritually restore them.
 
You can be part of this end-time move of God by contributing to our work among the Jewish People.
 
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?  I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."  (Isaiah 43:19)
