This week's Torah portion is called Naso, which translates as "counting." Continuing from the previous portion, God instructs Moses and Aaron to count the families of the tribe of Levi (Gershon and Merari, since Kohath was counted at the end of the previous portion). The Jewish people were preparing for a journey through the desert, and the Levites, along with the Kohanim, were preparing to perform daily tasks in the Mishkan, the portable sanctuary they had constructed.<\/p>\n
Our sages comment that, from a more spiritual perspective, the journey of the Jewish people through the desert served to transform a barren place into a habitable one. In other words, the definition of a desert is that it is uninhabited, whereas, during the journeys of the Jewish people, the desert ceased to be a desert and became a place inhabited.<\/p>\n
Esto tiene una expresi\u00f3n espiritual eterna, en todas las generaciones y todos los lugares: debemos hacer de nuestro medio ambiente, un lugar habitado. La sociedad en que vivimos plantea principios y valores que hacen de la vida, por as\u00ed decir, algo des\u00e9rtico. Falto de santidad, divinidad, falto de la presencia revelada de Di-s, por eso lo llamamos un desierto, no habitado por \u00abEl Hombre\u00bb Supremo, o sea Di-s. Todos nos encontramos en este inmenso desierto, y nuestra funci\u00f3n en la vida es traer a Di-s a la tierra y revelarlo en ese desierto, de manera que deje de ser un lugar inhabitado y vac\u00edo.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the same idea applies on a family and personal level: through our behavior, we create our home, our family, and ourselves. We begin life like an empty, barren notebook (obviously, we have a soul that is a piece of God, but it is hidden; we are not literally empty). The work consists of writing on those pages of the notebook and filling it, so to speak, with God, making our home, our family, and ourselves a place inhabited by God.<\/p>\n
El tiempo avanza y la vida transcurre. Las hojas del cuaderno llenas son s\u00f3lo aquellas \u00abhabitadas por El Hombre\u00bb, aquellas donde se puede encontrar a Di-s inscripto en ellas, por as\u00ed decir, mientras que las otras hojas pasaron y quedaron vac\u00edas, a pesar de haberlas vivido, est\u00e1s inhabitadas y des\u00e9rticas. Debemos reflexionar tanto hacia el pasado, pregunt\u00e1ndonos \u00bfCu\u00e1ntas hojas vac\u00edas hay en nuestro cuaderno? Y tambi\u00e9n hacia el futuro, \u00bfC\u00f3mo ser\u00e1n la siguientes hojas? \u00bfC\u00f3mo ser\u00e1 ma\u00f1ana? Seguramente mejor, en todo sentido.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"La parash\u00e1 de esta semana se llama Nas\u00f3, cuya traducci\u00f3n es contar.
