סיכום - Summary
- This weeks Torah portion continues with a description of the Tabernacle and the 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.
- We are also informed 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 portion ends with the Priestly Benediction.
- This Priestly Benediction of 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.
