Parashat Bamidbar
Presented By: Rav Eli Ozarowski
Written by: Nir Shaul
In Parashat Bamidbar, God requests the counting of Am Yisrael.
Question
Why is there a need for a specific number to facilitate the presence of the Shechina? Isn’t the Shechina present even for an individual who studies Torah?

Answer
It was necessary to count Am Yisrael prior to entering the Land. Six hundred thousand represents Am Yisrael in its completeness, since this number is complete in all its factors. Thus, this number of Israelites is required in order to sanctify Eretz Yisrael, to have the Shechina rest within her and to bring the complete redemption.

The Gemara in Moed Katan teaches that Rabbi Abba eulogized Rav Huna: He was worthy of having the Shechina rest upon him, but did not since he lived outside the Land of Israel.
Question
Why is the Shechina manifest only in the Land of Israel?

Answer
Since material things in the Land of Israel can be elevated to a level of sanctity, bodily purity can be achieved. Then the imaginative faculty can be purified as well which allows experiencing the manifestation of the Shechina.
