Parashat Bamidbar 5783 / פָּרָשַׁת בְּמִדְבַּר
20 May 2023 / 29 Iyyar 5783
Parashat Bamidbar is the 34th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading.
Torah Portion: Numbers 1:1-4:20
Bamidbar (“In The Desert”) is the first Torah portion in the Book of Numbers. It describes God's command to take a census and details the camping formation of the Israelites in the desert. It also begins to enumerate the responsibilities of the Levites when transporting the Mishkan (Tabernacle). [1]
Commentary and Divrei Torah
Soncino Chumash: pp. 568 – 572 Triennial Year 1 (Full Kriyah pp. 568 – 580)
Artscroll Chumash: pp. 726 – 733 Triennial Year 1 (Full Kriyah pp. 726 – 747)
Etz Chaim Chumash: pp. 769 - 774 Triennial Year 1 (Full Kriyah pp.769 - 785)
Judaic Studies
Next session: Thursday, May 18, 2023 @ 7:30pm
Our next topic will be Jewish ethics. We will be reading most of a book by Rabbi Louis Jacobs (1920-2006), Jewish Personal and Social Ethics. The book is quite accessible, and reflects a great deal of scholarshp by this distinguished British rabbi and theologian, whose perspective is close to that of American Conservative Judaism. The text will be made available on line, along with a few additional readings on these topics.

Shavuot 2023 / שָׁבוּעוֹת 5783
Festival of Weeks ⛰️🌸
Shavuot for Hebrew Year 5783 begins in the Diaspora at sundown on Thursday, 25 May 2023 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 27 May 2023.
The festival of Shavuot (or Shavuos, in Ashkenazi usage; Shabhuʿoth in Classical and Mizrahi Hebrew Hebrew: שבועות, lit. “Weeks”) is a Jewish holiday that occurs on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan (late May or early June). Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day G-d gave the Torah to the entire Israelite nation assembled at Mount Sinai, although the association between the giving of the Torah (Matan Torah) and Shavuot is not explicit in the Biblical text. The holiday is one of the Shalosh Regalim, the three Biblical pilgrimage festivals. It marks the conclusion of the Counting of the Omer.
