However, in Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel), during the daily Shacharit (Morning Prayer) and Mussaf (Additional Prayer) on Shabbat and Holidays, the sons of Aharon the Kohen walk to the front of the synagogue and, prompted by the Chazan (Prayer Leader), responsively intone the benedictions. This happens to great singers, actors, athletes, and numerous others who allow their successes to go to their heads; and instead of being humble and grateful to Hashem for the blessings He granted them, take the credit themselves and fall prey to the illusion that they are naturally superior people. Therefore, if as a result of their good fortune one devotes more time to learning, performing Mitzvot (plural Mitzvah, commandments) and helping others, then they will have converted the wealth they were granted into a real Brachah (Blessing). Naso 5785 Turning Blessings Into Meaningful Brachot Rabbi Reuven Mann The Priestly Blessings: A Divine Gift This week’s Parsha, Naso, contains the Mitzvah (commandment) of the Birkat Kohanim (Priestly Blessings). All the various factions need to be able to renounce baseless hatred and resolve to work together, and even be willing to sacrifice one’s particular interests for the sake of the welfare of Klal Yisrael (Congregation of Israel). Failure While the primary danger cited by the Seforno is that of thieves, there are many other potential factors that could rob a person of the full benefits of the numerous blessings that might have come his way. Many people emerge from an experience of failure with a more intelligent and mature outlook on life and apply themselves with great diligence and discipline to the new challenges they encounter. The Kohanim (plural Kohen, priests) are commanded to recite three verses from the Torah which denote the various favors which Hashem bestows upon Bnei Yisrael (Children of Israel). Dear Friends, My newest book, Eternally Yours: Torah’s Enduring Relevance for a Life of Wisdom on Devarim, has been published and is now available at: https://amzn.to/3NBewg7. For those in Eretz Yisrael, my books are available at David Linden’s Bookstore located at Emek Refaim Street 21, Jerusalem, and at Pomeranz Bookstore, Be’eri 5, Jerusalem.
