Today's the final day of Shavuot. It's always good to have access to a Rabbi bringing us some knowledge about this holiday. B"H. Reply
Nile to Water? At the 3:39 mark, the speaker states that Aaron turns "turned the Nile to water. I read that different. Reply
Inspiring and Motivating! "Access the genes." Since tribal affiliation is connected to our genetics, and since there does not seem to be any requirement that a specific amount/percentage of that genetic 'stuff' to be present in the individual, isn't it is possible that on the day the Levites are identified, whoever handles the identification and sorting of the scattered and/or superficially unrecognizable Levites will use some kind of genetic sifting system to discern who is in the pool of souls eligible for further scrutiny to see if they are acceptable to "take" their inheritance? Why would our L-rd arrange it so that the identification of Levites only happens when Moshiach comes? Maybe because most of us would balk at who will be identified if G-d is not right there to 'correct' those who aren't accepting? Or maybe peace reigns in all hearts by then. Why isn't it easy to id Levites? Maybe they & parents (mother for religion & father for tribe) don't appear or self-id as Jews? I hope this is not too off-topic. Reply
Aaron ב"ה. Aaron on Aaron? Reply
Levite If the census has not taken Aaron as a Levite. Then he was not a Levite. But Aaron was on a league of his own because he could stand on his own.He was blameless before God that is why he had such a standing. Reply

In the Book of Numbers, Levi's 3 sons' families listed adds up to 22,300 (7,500+ 8,600+ 6,200) people altogether, But the end of that chapter, it is said Levi Census 22,000 people. Why the 300 difference?
