Parsha:

Naso 

Description

We live in a world of turmoil - political, geopolitical, spiritual. Too often it seems that turmoil and strife are fundamental to our natures, but they are not. We want peace... We clamor for it. True peace is a fullness, a completeness, a fulfilling of God's promise. As such, it can only come about through genuine prayer and Torah scholarship. In Birkat Kohanim, we gain another insight into what it means to find shalom, to find peace... can only be recited amongst a quorum of ten. Blessings, to be real, are singular. Peace must be received by a unified community. There are no brachot without achdut - unity.
