Schneerson In the Torah portion of Bamidbar we learn that G‑d commanded Moshe to take a census of the entire community by tribes.1 G‑d also told Moshe that while conducting this census “alongside him there shall be one man for each tribe.”2 Rashi explains that Moshe was instructed “that when you count them, there shall be with you the princes of each individual tribe.” Thus, each tribal leader assisted Moshe not only in counting his own tribe, but in tallying the other tribes as well. As the Shaloh explains:3 counting the Jewish people gave them importance; it made them “an object worthy of numeration — that cannot become nullified.”4 The previous counts, in which all Jews were numbered as one entity — revealed the Jews’ general qualities and endearedness that transcends individual differences: the essential quality of the Jewish soul, in regard to which all Jews are exactly alike. We are thus presented with an anomaly: Although this count was connected with the particular qualities of individual Jews — with the inevitable result of highlighting those disparate qualities and merits — nonetheless, every Jew was counted as equal to all other Jews. https://www.chabad.org/parshah/article_cdo/aid/2526823/jewish/Bamidbar-Everyone-Counts.htm 1/2 5/12/23, 11:41 AM Bamidbar: “Everyone Counts” - The Chassidic Dimension - Parshah The reason for this is the following: Counting the Jews in order to reveal the particular merits of each — counting according to tribes — not only served to emphasize individual qualities in and of themselves , but these qualities taken as a whole comprise one totality — the Jewish people. It was thus necessary for the tribal leaders to be involved in the census of the other tribes as well, for it was necessary to remind them that their individual tribe constituted part of the Jewish people as a whole. The general objective of this census — counting the Jews in order to know their overall number — required that it be done by someone connected to all Jews equally; Moshe fit that bill perfectly. 5/12/23, 11:41 AM Bamidbar: “Everyone Counts” - The Chassidic Dimension - Parshah  ‫ב"ה‬ Bamidbar: “Everyone Counts” Based on the teachings of the Lubavit
