Bamidbar
New Audio Recordings of the Book of Psalms
The book of Psalms (Tehillim)—composed by King David, whose yahrzeit we will observe on Shavuot—has been a voice to the Jewish people in good times and bad since the biblical era. That’s why Chabad.org is excited to announce new audio recordings of the entire book of Psalms in Hebrew and English!
Long one of the most requested items, the new series is set to open the power of Psalms to people of all backgrounds and abilities. Each chapter is chanted slowly and clearly, making it ideal for anyone wishing to read along. For the novice learning to read Hebrew, the experienced Psalm-sayer wishing to recite along with the audio on the road, and someone with impaired vision, these chapters—which can be enjoyed in Hebrew and in English—are easy to maneuver and ready for use.
Have a great Shavuot!

Enjoy four short thoughts and a video adapted from the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe on Parshat Bamidbar.
The sages say that all is in the hands of heaven except for the awe of heaven.
Which puts all the power in your hands.
Because if there is no awe of heaven, heaven is bankrupt. It owns nothing—not you, not your world, not anything at all.
That being so, the greatest power you have is your ability to surrender the delus...
