Waking The Dawn
Be-ha’alotekha,
this week’s parasha, includes the cleansing of the Levites and the Passover
sacrifice. I wish to focus on the first 10 verses of chapter 10, which cover
the silver trumpets. Two trumpets were to be made and used for summoning the
community. Whether good times (festivals and new moon) or bad (war), their
blasts called the Israelites to action. When we daven our daily prayers, it
should be as though a military trumpet has called us to salute our L-rd. As it
says in the Tehillim (Psalms), “Raise a shout for the L-rd, all the earth;
worship the L-rd in gladness; come into his presence with shouts of joy (Ps.
100:1-2).
