Study sheet on the significance of having received the Torah at Mt. Sinai, in the wilderness.
This study sheet on parshat Bemidbar, prepared by Rabbi Toba Spitzer, explores commentaries on why Torah was given in the wilderness.
Parshat Bemidbar refers to an obscure character in the Torah who becomes famous in the Midrash: Nachshon ben Aminadav, said to be the first Israelite to jump into the Red Sea while Pharaoh's armies approached. But did he jump, or was he pushed?
Shabbat Bemidbar usually falls near Shavuot: the day traditionally designated as the anniversary of the revelation of Torah at Mt. Sinai. According to a midrash, Shavuot is like the wedding anniversary of God and the Jewish people.
