The Signs to travel a short Torah insight heard from Rabbi Aurbach this past Shabbos:
We Read in Numbers chapter 9 v 17
"And whenever the cloud was lifted from atop the Tent, afterwards the Children of Israel would journey..."
Chapter 9 v 23
"According to the word of Hashem would they journey, the charge of Hashem they would safeguard, according to the word of Hashem through the hand of Moses."
Chapter 10 v 1
"Hashem spoke to Moses saying, Make for yourself two silver trumpets - make them hammered out, and they shall be yours for summoning of the assembly and to cause the camps to Journey" it goes on to say to be used in your generation an eternal decree. The specific trumpets could only be used in that generation, the next generations leader would need their own trumpets.
Incredible 3 different signs were given to the children of Israel to let Bnei Yisrael know it was time to Journey but why do we need 3 signs what does each represent?
The answer told over by Rabbi Aurbach is insightful, the first sign was a cloud - this represents the G-d given Torah it is a sign from above, the second sign was through the Hand of Moses - it represents the charge and instructions taught to Moses and given over by him that were not written down but taught directly and verbally to his students and through the generations. The last sign was from the trumpets which were hand made and blown by the leader to tell Bnei Israel to journey this sign was to teach us the way to go to follow the correct path by attaching ourselves to our Leaders those charged by Hashem to guide us through the various generations. The trumpets represent the leader of the generation who understands the specific dynamics of the current generation and proficient in applying Hashem and Moses's teachings.
Fantastic I thought - have a good week
G-d Bless
Michael.
