Beha’alotcha — “When You Set Up”
This week’s parashah continues Israel’s journey in the wilderness, focusing on preparation, movement, and challenges along the way. Here’s a simple overview:
📖 Torah — Numbers 8:1–12:16
The menorah is set up, and the Levites are consecrated for service. The people celebrate Passover, and God leads them by cloud and fire. As the journey begins, complaints arise, manna is provided, and leadership is shared. Miriam and Aaron speak against Moses, and Miriam is struck with leprosy before being restored.
📜 Haftarah — Zechariah 2:14–4:7
Zechariah shares a vision of restoration and encouragement, emphasizing God’s presence among His people.
📕 B’rit HaChadasha — Hebrews 7:11–28
These verses discuss priesthood and the role of intercession.
Join us for Shabbat service this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at Beth Israel Messianic Synagogue.
