We are now accepting articles for the next issue of Nitzachon, which will BE”H cover topics relating to the Yomim Noraim, Sukkos, and Chanuka. We will also have a section for halacha and machshava topics unrelated to the moadim (such as Shabbos, chinuch, tefila, etc.) and would welcome such articles. Please discuss any of the non-moadim topics with the editors before starting to write. The deadline for submission of articles is July 31st. If you would like to contribute an article, please speak with Michael Kleinman, Yaakov Rich, Yaakov Siegel, or our newest editor, Steve Kirschenbaum. We are also looking for sponsors - there are dedication opportunities in honor or in memory of loved ones.

Dear Kids and Parents, This week’s parsha craft will be Yehoshua with a crown, since Moshe appoints Yehoshua as the leader after him.

The answer to last week’s riddle was Bilam, who only had one good eye and went up on a high place to view Bnei Yisrael to try and curse them. The bonus answer was also Bilam who tried to outdo the Avos by building 7 altars like all the Avos together, and offering 2 animals on each instead of the one ram like Avraham offered.

This week’s question is: This week I got to move my tent in the Midbar! Who am I and where did I move?

The bonus question is: What raffle was held in this week’s parsha in which everyone was a winner of the prize that was best for them? Good Shabbos! Rabbi Avrohom Wagshul YAHRZEITS 23-29 Tammuz / July 3-9 Sunday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Pinchas Gelb’s mother, Mrs. Gina Gelb Joy Graff - July 4th Sammy Lesowitz - July 5th פרימית מלכה טובה גיטל ע’’ה Talya Barz - July 7th Friday: Eileen Wohlgelernter’s father, Mr. Philip Eis פנחס בן יעקב אשר ע’’ה D’VAR TORAH Steve Kirschenbaum The Gemara Kiddushin 30a states the earlier Talmidei progression. The Gadol performed his first Chachamim were called Sofrim, like HaSofer. Not on the Paroches and he thought what a privilege only were they scribes but they were counters, people it is to represent Klal Yisrael through this Avodah; as who counted the letters of the Torah. For instance, with a result, I’m not the same person I was prior to doing regard to the letters contained in a Sefer Torah, the letter this. Achas, then Achas V’Achas, Achas V’Shtaim, Vav in the word Gichon is at the center of Torah; Darash Achas V’Shalosh; each Zerikah is a progression bearing Darash Moshe is the center in words. These Sofrim would tremendous meaning and significance along the way. contemplate these types of configurations to figure out what was the middle and what was the end. What A third example. The first counting we find is counting is the significance of counting the letters and words the days of Maaseh Bereishis, of creation. It says Yom of the Torah, i.e., knowing what the middle letter is, Echad, day one when it should say Yom Rishon, the knowing what the letters around it are? Is there a Talmid first day. Rashi asks this question and answers it should Chacham today that would take out a Sefer Torah and have said first on that day G-d was Yachid, there was an count the letters to know if the Vav of Gichon is in the Achdus HaShem; in the beginning, it was G-d completely first half or second? We seem to be missing something. alone. What does that have to do with counting? It should still say Yom Rishon, Yom Sheini in the order There are two types of counting. One count is of the days -- why Yom Echad? Creation is a process performed to simply ascertain the total amount. It’s and a progression; everything only counts if you realize a straightforward physical counting. The counting Yom Echad, that it started with HKBH being the Yachid process is unimportant but is necessary to determine B’Olamo; the oneness of the entire Briya with HKBH. the final number. You count to see if there are ten people in a room for a Minyan. It doesn’t matter who you count In addition to these three examples of counting, certainly first, second, or third. The question is do we have 10 total. when counting Klal Yisrael, there was a progression. Every Jew’s contribution was meaningful; every Jew The second second type of count is one that has a meant something more from family to family. Yissachar great Chashivus, that has a great depth to it. When was counted and then Zevulun; Zevulun’s Parnassa was someone counts, one numeration follows the next. important because there was a Yissachar behind him, The third specifically follows the second and so on. there was a Yissachar that he was supporting. Every Each count is significant along the way. There’s a single person within Klal Yisrael contributed valuable. Seder HaDevarim, a plan in that which has transpired. Perhaps we ‘count’ a fifth; we count the days of our For example, we count Sefiras HaOmer. Simply put, lives, which is a continuous count. We count our days, it’s a Mitzvas Asei but we’re counting the days to weeks, months, years, and our decades. Birthdays determine when Shavuos arrives. Since we don’t come and we notice them. To some, the succession of want this to come across as just a superficial count, days is a superficial and meaningless count for a life that Chazal revealed to us the depth of the days and the involves no progression at all. However, to those whose progression from the Middah of Chessed to Gevurah, counting bears meaning, it’s a different kind of tally. to Tiferes, to Netzach, to Hod, to Yesod, and to We count Ben Arbaim L’binah, Ben Chamishim L’eitza, Malchus. It’s a progression in preparation for Mattan Ben Shishim L’zikna. Each step of our life perpetually Torah. For this reason, Chazal revealed this idea to us. propels us to the higher Madreiga. We aren’t the same person we were yesterday. Counting is meaningful A second example of counting. On , the when you’re aware of what you’re moving towards. Kohen Gadol counted when he sprinkled the blood L’sapeir, Sippur is a Lashon of Sefer, a book. When you on the Bein HaBadim, on the Paroches, and as we count properly, it’s like a book, a progression from the say on Yom Kippur, Kach Haya Moneh. This is how beginning through the middle up to the climax at the we counted. Achas, Achas V’Achas, Achas V’Shtaim, end. That’s the type of counting that fosters Chashivus, Achas V’shalosh. The question is why is this important? to count every day over the course of our lives. Just say that he counted carefully so that he shouldn’t do extra or too few of the Hazaos? The answer is that it’s not a superficial count; this counting was a
