IN THE DESERT

The Hebrew name of this week’s parsha is Bamidbar, “in the desert." We read this parsha before the holiday of Shavuot, when we celebrate the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. But why did God give us the Torah in such a barren setting? 

The Lubavitcher Rebbe taught that a desert has no owner; by giving the Torah in the desert, God sent the message that no Jewish person or tribe can own or control it. Every Jew has the same holy birthright.

When our ancestors were “bamidbar” they had to depend on God for everything: food, water and clothing. As we celebrate receiving the Torah on Shavuot, we must remember that just as in days of old, we still depend on God for everything. We can live free of worry, secure in the knowledge that God will provide us with exactly what He wants us to have. 

The Rebbe characterized the barrenness of the desert as a metaphor for feelings of spiritual barrenness. If you feel empty and lost, as most people do at times, know that God is with you just as He was in the empty wasteland of the midbar. Even (especially?) when the world seems dry and empty, let us never forget that our loving Creator is nearby.

In the heart of Pakistan's interior Sindh, a village called Sanghar witnessed a heinous act of brutality. A ruthless landlord, fueled by anger and disregard for life, mercilessly cut off a camel's paw simply because it had wandered into his plot without permission! This senseless act of violence is a stark reminder of the cruel world we live in, where we cry out for justice for Palestine while ignoring the atrocities in our own backyard.

A innocent camel, harmless and defenseless, fell victim to human cruelty, and yet, no one is held accountable! The perpetrator, emboldened by his wealth and influence, will likely escape punishment, leaving the poor creature to suffer without justice. This is the harsh reality of our world, where the powerful prey on the weak, and the voiceless are left to suffer in silence.

Oh, Allah, have mercy on us! How long will we turn a blind eye to such atrocities? When will we learn to value life and compassion? The world is indeed a cruel place, where the strong oppress the weak, and the innocent are left to bear the brunt of human brutality.

Okay, random question: to be stuck on a desert or jungle?

I would die in both but desert

I would also die in both, but desert.

I really don’t wanna deal with all the bugs. Not to mention literally all the animals in the jungle that could kill me.

No thanks, I’ll just get so sunburned I die.
