Parsha:

Masei 

Description

The uncertainties of the journeys through the desert somehow are the root and source of every nisayon (test) we endure until the end of time. "These journeys" begin the correction for our lack of faith when we said: "These are your gods, oh Israel." Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Nobody knows what will happen to us; we must believe that Hashem, like a king, is holding us by the hand and that He will ultimately explain why we had to experience each and every difficulty. If only Reuven, Aharon, Boaz had known about the amazing outcomes of their deeds... and of course, the same is true for us! The exact date and place Aharon died. How come the cities of refuge are mentioned near the death of Aharon Hakohen (priest)? Dividing up Eretz Yisrael by goral (lottery). Ending sefer Bamidbar (the book of our exile) with Zlofchad who receives his tikkun (repair) through his daughters. A ma'aseh (story) from the Aish Kodesh. All that can heal us comes from the Ribbonoh shel Olam (Master of the world).
