This sidra - Deuteronomy Chapter 11 verses 26 through Chapter 16 verse 17 - really is one of those portions where the Torah smacks you with both open-handed blessing and closed-fist severity. Perhaps from our 21st-century moral framework and perspective, some parts are deeply moving while others are eyebrow-raising at best, chilling at worst. But it’s precisely that tension that makes it worth a very extensive investigation as we probe into the words of Moshe.
Parshat Naso is the longest single parsha in the Torah, clocking in at 176 verses. That’s Torah’s way of saying, “Hey, you might want to take a long , serious and contemplative look at what you’re about to learn.”
