Darcy Silvers – Chabad.edu
S. Cruz, CA — Previously known as a “party house,” the three-story home still attracts dozens of students on Friday nights. But while the former location of the campus Frisbee team had been known for its raucous events, now students show up to do a lot more than party. That’s because the house is now home to Chabad at the University of California at S. Cruz. And it has undergone more than just a physical transformation.

The Rebbe says:
1. This week we begin a new Book in the “Five Books of Moses” called Chumash Bamidbar or as it is referred to as “The Book of Numbers”.
The first portion in Chumash Bamidbar is called Bamidbar, and we read this Torah portion every year on the Shabbos before the festival of Shavous (which is the anniversary of the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai).
2. The simple reason why we read Parshas (the portion of) Bamidbar before Shavous is to make a separation between the curses which we read in the previous week's Torah portion of Bechukosai and the giving of the Torah (Shavous). However since everything in Torah is perfectly exact (indeed our Sages learn out numerous Laws from one letter in the Torah), we must say that there is a reason why the portion of Bamidbar was specifically chosen to be the portion which we read before the festival of Shavous and not any other portion.
