The priestly blessing being recited
Haftorah (short reading read after the weekly portion) Nasso, Judges 13:2-25: G-d’s angel appears to Manoach and his wife who is barren, to tell them she will have a child whose name is to be Samson, who will save the Jewish people from the Philistine oppression they are enduring.
Parashat Nasso “Take A Census” פָּרָשַׁת נָשׂא Numbers 4:21-7:89, is the second Torah portion in Numbers, the the 4th Book of the five Books of the Bible, and the the 35th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading which begins on Rosh Ha Shana, the Jewish New Year.
Parashat Nasso discusses how and who is responsible for erecting the Tabernacle, for anointing it, sanctifying it, caring for it, and moving it.
