For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.

או ימים או חדש או ימים בהאריך הענן על המשכן לשכן עליו יחנו בני ישראל ולא יסעו ובהעלתו יסעו

Bamidbar 9:22

In our Parasha, Parashat Beha’alotcha, there are many topics, stories, and Halachot that teach us a bunch of things. There is one key issue that is discussed in the parasha that really brings us to a pillar of Emunah in our lives. This pasuk on top explains that only when the spectacular Clouds of Glory would begin to move then all of Am Yisrael had to pack up all there things, all 2,000,000+ of them, and follow the ananei hakavod to the next place of dwelling in the desert.

Now let’s try to think a little bit deeper what it means to make 2,000,000+ Jews who just came out of slavery to literally pack up and move out. Actually, just think about the last trip you were involved in, whether it be 5 or 75 people and think about the time you all had to move out from one location to the next. Is it not a miracle to believe that these Jews, all TWO MILLION+ of them, were able to travel with a Mishkan, with Yosef’s coffin/bones, with The Aron HaKodesh with the Luhot HaBrit inside, and with millions of animals and tents, clothing, etc.

If anything this causes me to G-d forbid go against the belief of the Torah and how practical it is?! But in reality it does the exact opposite, the fact that Hashem is the one controlling the world anything is possible. Even if it means moving 200 million people from one location to another. Now let’s think a little more emotional. Imagine a single family out of Bnei Yisrael in the desert. Who knows what the family was going through and all of a sudden there are trumpet sounds blasting throughout the camps and everyone begins packing: THE CLOUDS ARE MOVING. Did Beni Yisrael complain about the breast feeding they had to do? Or the animal caring they had to watch for? Or maybe a couple was in a deep conversation about their Avodat Hashem and how they can improve it? No one uttered a word.

Everyone was living with complete Emunah (faith) that Hashem is running the show. And Be’ezrat Hashem we should reach the level that when Hashem moves our "Clouds of Success" or G-d forbid what looks like the opposite, we should also accept His decisions with happiness and full Emunah that its all for the best.

SHABBAT SHALOM!
