As I read through this Parashas

This Torah Portion is called Naso, it is the 34 ^th Torah Portion, it means to “lift up,” it takes its name from the first word of the second verse of the Hebrew, which say: “lift up the heads of the sons of Gershon,” referring to the CREATOR’S desire to have the sons of Gershon counted amoung those who would received an inheritance.

The importance of the Sabbath of Naso is connected to the fact that it follows, Pentecost “Shavuot,” which itself has such phenomenal energy that it is divided into two parts.

Some Torah teachers teach that on the night before Pentecost “Shavuot,” we are given a larger heart, a greater ability to truly experience a greater appreciation for the Light of the creator. This is the night when the Creator gives us the greater ability, that was negotiated on the day of atonement. The night before Shavuot, we are given the faculties with which to experience the coming blessing of Pentecost, or in other words the spirit or light of the next day of Creation.

We need the First day of creation, inorder to experience the second day, much like a child going from Kindergarden to grade one. We are given instruction and an amazingly powerful new spiritual tool on Shavuot, but many of us do not realize what we have until we read the Torah Portion of Naso.

 The Torah reading of Passover discuss the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai. We also learn from the Haftarah, a section of the Book of Prophets, following the Torah Portion. This Haftarah for Shavuot speaks of Ezekiel’s vision of the angels, when he is actually sensing the light of the CREATOR.

When we connect the Light of the Torah reading with the light of the Haftarah and the BritChadash we are connecting them with the Tree of Life. The next step after that is to establish this connection as a constant in our lives through our new power of prophecy, the power of been able to give and received messages from the Light of the CREATOR.

Now that we have realize what was and is still been given to us on Pentecost “Shavuot,” we can see why the Sabbath of Naso follow Pentecost, it provides us with time to absorb and to connect to these revelations. This revelation is not further information, but an opportunity to increace our visual range of the same information. It is like the morning sun, that become progressively brighter every hour until it reaches its apex at noon.

The gift of tasting of the Light of the CREATOR is given to us on Shavuot, and to manifest it, to truly make it a part of our life, we cannot be content with who we were last Torah Cycle. We do not want the Sabbath of Naso to simply pass us by, but we should let the experience of this Sabbath see us going from glory to glory. We must become a new person, one who sense, feels, taste, and see the brighter Light of the Creator in everything we experience. This is the opportunity we are given on the Sabbath of Naso.

This Parashas continue the task of counting the families of Levites and assigning them to their respective responsibilities. In the last Parashas we saw the first of the Levites family the Kohathites had been counted before, and the Torah goes on to assign responsibility to the other families.
