Broadcasting Blessing – Parshat Naso 5779
Maybe this is why, of all the rituals of the holy temple, this one has been revived and reimagined in so many ways. It has made its way into our prayer service, as a way for the kohanim or the leaders to bless the whole community, wherever we live. It has entered our homes as a blessing given lovingly from parents to children each Friday night. It has entered many of our rituals of transition as a blessing for a new stage of life or a new endeavor. Last week at our school’s graduation, a selection of students formed a choir to offer this blessing to our graduates as they set off on the next stage of their educational journey.
