ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33

#ShabbatShalom - Welcome to this week’s Torah portion, which is called Behaalotecha (When You Raise).
This is the portion that will be read this Shabbat (Saturday) in synagogues around the world.
We know you will be blessed as you read it along with us!

Last week, in Parasha Naso, the numbering of Israel continued with a census of the Levites.  The Nazirite vow was detailed, as well as the Aaronic Blessing. This week's Scripture portion is named Behaalotecha, which means when you step up because it begins with instructions as to how the Menorah (lampstand) is to be set up in the Tabernacle.  A related word is aliyah (עליה) — the Hebrew word for immigrating to the Land of Israel.  It can also be defined as the act of going up. To take the step of faith to return to the Land of our Forefathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) is an act of spiritual elevation. In Parasha Behaalotecha, the Israelites resume their trek to the Promised Land.  The Divine fire-cloud accompanies them as a supernatural manifestation of God's Presence, even so they murmured complaints.

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

Torah Teasers Parshat Be’halot’cha by Moshe Erlbaum

https://www.aish.com/tp/i/teasers/Torah-Teasers-Parshat-Behalotcha.html

♥†♥ ♥†♥ ♥†♥

Todah Rabah - beloved Rabbi Ralph Messer ...
Simchat Torah Beit Midrash - Joy of God’s Teaching and Instruction

What Does It Mean to Choose Life? Every decision you make can be made in a way that you are “choosing life.” The Torah is God’s constitution; it is His teaching and instruction; it is eternal and it is life. His Spirit is pure Light, abundant with untouchable, supreme, sovereign power.
God is the Source of all life.

Beha’alotcha

means “when you kindle”—referring to the kindling of the lamps of the Menorah in the Tabernacle. There were a group of Israelites who had been unable to bring the Passover offering at the appointed time in the month of Nissan due to ritual impurity (through no fault of their own). Moses turned to God for an answer.  God responded to their plea, saying that a “substitute Passover,” called Pesach Sheni (“Second Passover”), was to be observed on the 14th day of the following month—Iyar 14. Maybe you are feeling spiritually impure or “far away” from God and from others due to past mistakes and indiscretions.  This is where the idea behind Pesach Sheni comes in. It’s never too late for a second chance. God’s love for us can be seen in the opportunities for second chances that He gives us.

Israel Is Unsure It Deterred Hamas, and the Military Is Preparing for Renewed Gaza Fighting
T. Belman writes,  I read elsewhere that Israel was running dangerously low of projectiles for the Iron Dome. The US has always met our need for resupply as to not to force us to capitulate. Furthermore Hamas officials said they were in daily contact with Hezbollah.  No doubt Israel was also worried that Hezbollah would join the attack.

Palestinians are emboldened to attack Jews in New York and LA further adding to the publicity.  CAIR has just announced “Over 100 organizations today joined the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and activists for the National March for Palestine in Washington, D.C., taking place on Saturday, May 29,”

UFOs and Jews Living on a Different Planet
by Rabbi Efrem Goldberg

Judaism's differing views on the possibility of life on other planets and how some Jews are living in an alternative universe. While acknowledging that there is support in Torah for the notion that life exists on other planets, he argued that life could not be intelligent or similar to human life.
If they were, they would need Torah to guide them.

In parsha Behaalotecha,
manna from heaven grew tiresome. The height of ingratitude. The false memory of an Egyptian bounty of fish, cucumbers, watermelons, leeks, onions and garlic leads the people to beg for meat instead of manna.  Moshe's reply is priceless and timeless: "If sheep and cattle were slaughtered for them, would it suffice for them? If all the fish of the sea were gathered for them, would it suffice for them?"  Sounds a lot like my dinner table.  Maybe it's the weather.  Maybe I am too tired to fight.  But this week, I give in.  Here is a menu (with the obligatory meat) worth kvetching for...

Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to Aaron and say to him, When you set up (behaalotecha – בְּהַעֲלֹתְךָ) the lamps,
the seven lamps shall give light in front of the Menorah. Numbers 8:1–2



Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Behaalotecha - Menorah Purity - Complaining Impurity !!!

 
Welcome to this week’s Torah portion, which is called
Behaalotecha 
(When You Raise)
.
 
Shabbat Shalom
 
This is the portion that will be read this Shabbat (Saturday) in synagogues around the world.  We know you will be blessed
as you read it along with us!
 
BEHAALOTECHA (When You Raise)
Numbers 8:1–12:16; Zechariah 2:14[10]–4:7; Philippians 2:1–18
 
“Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to Aaron and say to him, “When you set up (behaalotecha – בְּהַעֲלֹתְךָ) the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the Menorah.””  (Numbers 8:12)
 
Last week, in Parasha Naso, the numbering of Israel continued with a census of the Levites.  The Nazirite vow was detailed, as well as the Aaronic Blessing.
 
This week's Scripture portion is named Behaalotecha, which means when you step up because it begins with instructions as to how the Menorah (lampstand) is to be set up in the Tabernacle.  A related word is aliyah (עליה) — the Hebrew word for immigrating to the Land of Israel.  It can also be defined as the act of going up.
 
To take the step of faith to return to the Land of our Forefathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) is an act of spiritual elevation.
 
The Temple Institute
                        has created this life-sized menorah for use in
                        the future Third Temple.

menorah for use in the future Third Temple.  The
menorah is made of 45 kg of 24 karat pure gold 
and is hammered out of a single block of solid gold.

The Menorah: Raising the Light of Purity
“Now this workmanship of the Menorah was hammered gold; from its shaft to its flowers it was hammered work.  According to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.”  (Numbers 8:4)
 
Parasha Behaalotecha opens with the kindling of the Menorah. 
This lampstand is a symbol of the light of revelation and truth.
 
God commanded Moses to make it out of gold according to the pattern shown him on Mount Sinai.  Why gold and not bronze or silver?
 
Gold symbolizes something precious — of great value, and it is a metaphor for purity in the Bible.
 
The fire in the Menorah represents the fire of the Divine Light spreading throughout the entire world, beginning with Israel.
 
We can understand it also as Godliness; therefore, the fire can be seen as symbolic of God refining His people so that they may be as fine gold!
 
“He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver.  Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness.”  (Malachi 3:3)
 
Smelted gold is poured
                        into moulds.
Smelted gold is poured into molds.
 
The Light of Obedience
Seven lamps were lit on the Menorah.
Why are there seven golden lampstands and not five or nine or any other number?  According to ancient Jewish thought, seven stands for perfection or completion.
 
The Book of Revelation also speaks of seven golden lampstands in a vision God gave to John:  "And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me.  And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands."  (Revelation 1:12)
 
Here, these seven golden lampstands represent the seven congregations in Asia Minor (Revelation 1:10–11, 20).
 
God warned that He might remove the lampstand of a congregation if they continue in sin and refuse to repent.  As Yeshua (Jesus) told the church at Ephesus:  "I am coming to you, and will remove your lampstand out of its place — unless you repent."  (Revelation 2:5)
 
Those who are His followers continually grow in obedience, love, joy, and peace, becoming more and more like Yeshua.
 
That love, joy, and peace shines forth through a dark and dreary world like a beacon of hope.  It makes others desire the
Source of that goodness.

Cleansing of God’s Servants
“Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you
the desires of your heart.”  (Psalm 37:4)
 
As we pursue the Lord, we also pursue purity in our attitudes,
our speech, and our ministry.
 
And so we read in this Parasha that the Levites who served God in the Temple had to be cleansed and purified before beginning their ministry.
 
“Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: ‘Take the Levites from among the children of Israel and cleanse them ceremonially.  Thus you shall do to them to cleanse them:  Sprinkle water of purification on them, and let them shave all their body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.’”  (Numbers 8:5–7)
 
God took the Levites as His own in place of the firstborn who were spared during the Ten Plagues in Egypt.  Most of those sons defiled their hearts and spirits when they worshiped the Golden Calf.
 
The Levites didn’t worship the calf.  They stayed faithful and true to the God of Israel; therefore, they were given the work of service in the Tabernacle, instead of Israel's firstborn sons.

“The manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of bdellium.  The people went about and gathered it and ground it in handmills or beat it in mortars and boiled it in pots and made cakes of it.  And the taste of it was like the taste of cakes baked with oil.”
(Numbers 11:7–8)
 
In Parasha Behaalotecha, the Israelites resume their trek to the Promised Land.  The Divine fire-cloud accompanies them as a supernatural manifestation of God's Presence.
 
It has been a year since He delivered His Chosen People from bondage in Egypt.  They saw the River Nile turn to blood and their firstborn saved by blood.  They even walked through a parted sea into safety.
 
But experiencing God's supernatural Presence and His provision of manna did not stop them from murmuring in the wilderness.
 
Oh how they complained!  Even to the point of rejecting God and desiring to go back to bondage where they could have the fish “that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.”  (Numbers 11:5)
 
Despite the manna, they were consumed with a craving for meat.  The Bible does not explain why they did not eat meat
from their herds of sheep.

Moses finds the people's complaining so hard to bear that he is ready to die if no solution is found, and his honesty with God
brings about a Divine solution.
 
God tells him to gather 70 experienced elders to the Tent of Meeting.  They are to share the burden of leadership, and to help them, God endows them with Moses' spirit (Numbers 11:17).  In Judaism, this act of God is seen to forever legitimate
the judicial role of Israel's elders.
 
God also promises Moses that He will give the people so much meat that they will be sick of it, which Moses finds difficult to believe.
 
To satisfy the cravings of these ungrateful Israelites, God sends tons of quail.  Many gorge themselves and die as God's anger is unleashed due to their rejection of Him.  They are buried at the place they named Kibroth-hattaavah (graves of craving).  (Numbers 11:31–35)
 
Miriam and Aaron also complain by speaking against their brother Moses. They criticize Moses for marrying a Cushite woman — slander, and they want more respect as prophets in their own right — pride.
 
For speaking lashon harah (slander, but also speaking the truth to injure) and for pride, God strikes Miriam with leprosy;
she turns white “like snow.”
 
Aaron recognizes their sin and cries out to the Lord,
“O God, please heal her — please.”
 
Although repentance helps restore our relationship with God, a lesson still has to be learned by Miriam, Aaron, and the entire community.  They cannot move ahead until Miriam spends seven days outside the camp.

Haftarah (Prophetic Portion): Purity and the Menorah
The prophetic reading this Shabbat (Zechariah 2:14[10]–4:7) begins with an invitation to shout for joy because God will dwell in the midst of Zion and once again choose Jerusalem.  In that day many nations will join themselves to the Lord.
 
Zechariah's vision confirms how deeply Adonai cares about the cleansing of His people.
 
The Prophet Zechariah sees the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, standing before the angel of
the Lord in the Heavenly Court.
 
Satan is also there accusing Joshua, who is clothed in filthy rags, a metaphor for sin.  According to the 11th century Jewish commentator, Rashi, Joshua is guilty of allowing his sons to marry foreign women, which is not allowed for Levites (see Ezra 10:18).

The Angel of the Lord identifies Joshua as a brand plucked from the fire, which an article on the Chabad website interprets as the "hardships of exile."
 
Indeed, Joshua has returned from the Babylonian exile along with Zerubbabel and the Jewish exiles to Jerusalem where they will rebuild the city and the Jewish Temple.
 
The Lord rebukes Satan and says to Joshua, “See, I have removed your guilt from you, and you shall be clothed in [priestly] robes.”
(Zechariah 3:4)
 
Zechariah then describes his vision of a seven-branched Menorah, which is kindled for the first time in this week's Torah reading.

Empowered by the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)
Rebuilding Jerusalem and the Second Temple is a huge task.  And through the Prophet Zechariah, God reassures both Joshua and Zerubbabel that He is behind the initiative.
 
Immediately after Zechariah sees the Menorah, the symbol of purity and the light of truth reaching the nations, the Lord gives a word to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, saying,
 
"Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit — said the Lord of Hosts."  (Zechariah 4:6)
 
Of course, pursuing spiritual goals is too difficult if we are left to our own devices.  Both the Parasha reading and the Haftarah reading reveal that we have supernatural help.
 
We see that even Moses had his limits as a mere man.  No one — not even Moses himself — could do the work of Moses without being anointed with the Spirit of God.
 
To ease Moses' burden, God spread some of Moses’ anointing — the Holy Spirit — giving it to 70 respected elders who would share
in the task of leadership.
 
The Scriptures say that these elders immediately prophesied.
 
When the Spirit of God is working in someone, spiritual gifts manifest.  Prophecy is just one of these gifts
(see 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, 28; Romans 12:6–8)
 
These gifts were only available to a select few until the Ruach (Spirit) descended on Shavuot (Pentecost) upon the first Believers 50 days after Yeshua's resurrection.

Through Yeshua, our garments of iniquity have been removed and we, like Joshua, are clothed in vestments of purity and righteousness.  This is a fulfillment of one of Zechariah's prophecies, which foretells of a time when the Messiah will remove all iniquity in a single day.
 
“I am going to bring My servant the Branch [a future king from the line of David] … and I will remove that country's guilt in a single day.  In that day — declares the LORD of Hosts — you will be inviting each other to the shade of vines and fig trees.”  (Zechariah 3:8–10; Jeremiah 33:15)
 
This righteous Branch from the line of David has appeared; and in one day, He paid the penalty for our sin and clothed us with His righteousness.
 
Each of us need God's Ruach in our lives, empowering us to obey His word, manifest His love, joy, and peace, and exercise spiritual gifts He has bestowed. 
 
Filled with His Spirit, each of us are beacons of light that show the way to a lost and dying world.
 
One practical way we can shine as lights in the midst of the darkness is by refusing to complain and, instead, express gratitude in all things, rejoicing in the Lord always.
 
“Do everything without complaining or arguing so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world.”  (Philippians 2:14–15)
 
Praying hands and an oil lamp
 
You can shine Yeshua's light in the Holy Land and among the Jewish People worldwide by helping the ministry of Bibles For Israel.
 
"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yeshua, His Son, purifies us from all sin."  (1 John 1:7)
 

Shabbat Shalom from the Entire Bibles For Israel Family!

The Jewish people (the People of the Book)
gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.

Many have falsely said that God is finished with His
Chosen People; however, Bible prophecy clearly states that
this will never be so. In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving
among His people to physically and spiritually restore them.
