"It Brought Forth a Blossom" ✡ Shabbat Shalom from Beautiful Israel

The staff of Aaron of the house of Levi had blossomed; it brought forth a blossom, sprouted a bud and almonds ripened. NUMBERS (17:23)   וְהִנֵּה פָּרַח מַטֵּה אַהֲרֹן לְבֵית לֵוִי וַיֹּצֵא פֶרַח וַיָּצֵץ צִיץ וַיִּגְמֹל שְׁקֵדִים בְּמִדְבַּר יז:כג v'-hi-nay pa-rakh ma-tay a-ha-ron l'-bayt lay-vee va-yo-tzay pe-rakh va-ya-tzaytz tzeetz va-yi-g'-mol sh'-kay-deem

Upon careful analysis, a remarkable pattern emerges, one with a powerful lesson for those who still try to rebel against God’s will, especially when it comes to denying the Jewish people’s right to the Land.
