MY DAILY LIFE TORAH COACH:
Parashat Bemidbar n.35

Parsha Bamidbar, which begins the Book of Numbers, tells the story of the Israelites being counted and organized as they prepare to journey through the desert. In a modern context, this portion can serve as a reflection on the importance of structure, community, and individual purpose. Just like the Israelites each had a place and role in their collective movement forward, today’s fast-paced and often chaotic world still demands that we find order, contribute to something larger than ourselves, and recognize that everyone matters. Being “counted” is not just about numbers, it’s about being seen and valued. Whether in our workplaces, families, or social circles, Bamidbar reminds us that identity and belonging are central to navigating any journey together.
