This week’s reading, Bamidbar, begins the Book of Numbers, the fourth of the Five Books of Moses. This book of the Torah opens on the first of Iyar, one month after the inauguration of the Tabernacle, and several weeks before the Jews will depart from Mount Sinai and begin their journey to the Holy Land. In this week’s portion the Israelites and the Tribe of Levi are counted separately.

What Was Jesus' Favourite Book? Gidon Ariel Talks to Jeff About The "Bible" in the First Century:

"I found this fascinating . As a Child Educator I gleaned so much on how the process might have happened. Loved the Grandma part possibly singing the psalms. All the history piece vital to seeing Jesus absorbing “God’s word” through his culture at that time. Thank you!"
