Lesson Description

The story of Bamidbar, which literally means É??in the desertÉ?ù, explains how humility and positive actions can attract righteous souls to support our journey toward wholeness so that we too will bloom in the desert. Eitan transforms what would appear as unappealing, being in a desert, into something attractive and nurturing to the soul. The idea of "springs in the desert" comes alive when we understand the true meaning of desert consciousness and how it can help elevate our soul to connect to our true image as described in Genesis: man was created in the image of God.
