Parshas Bamidbar (5768)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
Hashem demonstrates His great love for us in our parsha which is spelled out by His repeated counting of us. It brings with it an awesome responsibility to have a similar love for Klal Yisroel, as we are expected to emulate Hashem, especially when He makes an explicit demonstration.
This subject of being aware of and upgrading our love for our fellow “Yidden” is very much the theme of the present period of sefiras haomer and in preparing for kabolas haTorah.
A productive, time-tested tool of improving our Ahavas Yisroel is to concentrate for a few moments on the positive traits of an acquaintance; this may include a spouse.
Have a wonderful Shabbos, a month of bracha and hatzlacha, surrounded by wonderful people.
