Parshas Bamidbar (5770)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Rashi (1:49) relates two reasons why shevet Levi were counted separately. Both we have to learn from. Firstly, they were the personal troops of the King and must be treated with reverence and special honor. Today all people who are loyal to Hashem’s Torah are the true royalty and must themselves feel this way. The second is their success in not succumbing to chet haeigel and the perverted testimony of the meraglim. These both were due to the special closeness they had to Hashem.

This is something which we should work on especially today –true closeness to Hashem, which is the key to success in everything.

Have a wonderful Shabbos, a successful Chodesh, and a fulfilling and inspiring Kabolas HaTorah.
