| This week's reading, Bamidbar, begins the Book of Numbers, the fourth of the Five Books of Moses. This book of the Torah opens on the first of Iyar, one month after the inauguration of the Tabernacle, and several weeks before the Jews will depart from Mount Sinai and begin their journey to the Holy Land.

The Levites are informed the procedure for dismantling the Tabernacle before traveling. | | |  | | Each Jew holds a designated place within the cohesive structure of the Jewish people.
