From this week’s Torah portion – Naso:
And YHWH spoke to Moshe, saying, Speak to Aharon and his sons, saying, This is how you bless the children of Yisra’el. Say to them:
YHWH bless you and guard you;
YHWH make His face shine upon you, and show grace to you;
YHWH lift up His face upon you, and give you shalom.
Thus they shall put my name on the children of Yisra’el, and I myself shall bless them.
This is the blessing to be performed over the children of Yisrael by the kohanym (priests). Do you think that this blessing is to be performed by anyone else? Interesting question, yes? But it is the most lovely of blessings!
