Parashat Bamidbar 5786 - Rabbi Leeor Dahan

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Leeor Dahan’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Well, one of the main things I want I'm just going to jump right in. I wanted to talk about something that I find to be obviously very important. The parashah and Shavuot always line up. We have this parashah parashat Bamidbar is always in preparation of the holiday of Shavuot. And that obviously, you know, gets us to stop and think. Gets us to stop and think, why why did Hakadosh Baruch Hu arrange it that way? Why why specifically should Bamidbar be here? And there are answers. The Gemara talks about it. It's like a sick it's like a mechitza. You have the kelalot of Ba'alotcha and you don't want to put that in proximity with the Matan Torah as if as if has veshalom that the kelalot are prelude to giving the Torah. So, we create a separation of Bamidbar, which is sort of like an a negative reason, but if is there a positive reason like in the parashah itself that reason like in the parashah itself that gives us maybe insight about what we should know about Shavuot? So, there's two points I want to say. I want to share what Rav Moshe Feinstein says. But before we get to that, really, one of the highlights of the parashah if you notice the Torah spends a tremendous amount of energy uh in terms of words because um some topics the Torah leaves very very vague. Even like topics like taharat hamishpacha or laws of zevicha or hilchot Shabbat.
