CANDLE LIGHTING - 8:11 PM
HAVDALAH - 9:14 PM
SHABBAT PARSHAT NASO - Numbers 4:21 - 7:89
הסכום - Summary
- This Torah portion continues with a description of the Tabernacle duties of the Levite families
- They were responsible for carrying the holy objects from one encampment place to the next.
- When the tabernacle was taken down, the Levite families were to transfer the curtains, tapestries and the frames, to six covered wagons.
- The most sacred objects, like the Ark and the Menorah were carried by certain Levites on their shoulders from one encampment to the other.
- The Sidra informs us of the laws relating to the Nazirites, who were dedicated to the Service of G-d and took upon themselves religious obligations beyond those required of the Israelites.
- The Torah portion ends with the Priestly Benediction.
- This Priestly Benediction of a mere fifteen words has been recited among our people for several thousand years. It is as meaningful today as when it was first spoken by Aaron and his sons.
