In the middle of Parshat Naso, we encounter the mitzvah of Birkat Kohanim, the blessing given by the Kohanim to Bnei Yisrael on a regular basis (daily in Eretz Yisrael and on the Chagim in Chutz la’aretz). Who is this Mitzvah commanded to?The Minchas Chinuch quotes a number of acharonim who suggest that in addition to the commandment for the Kohanim to bless Am Yisrael, there is a parallel commandment for Am Yisrael to be blessed by the Kohanim. What exactly does this mean, and what does it tell us about parenting?
