Beha’alotcha: Numbers 8:1 – 12:16
The Lord speaks to Moses, to instruct Aaron regarding the lighting of the lampstand.
The inner light of God is kindled and rekindled in you with the assistance of prayer. Prayer, in each of its forms, transmits energy.

Beha’alotcha: Numbers 8:1 – 12:16
Moses and Aaron assemble the Levites, purify them, and consecrate them to serve the Lord.
Selfless service has less to do with the self than with service. It is giving of yourself fully.

Rather than seek self-aggrandizement and praise, you receive fulfillment in serving others unconditionally. (Compassion, p. 131)
