Whereas the Book of Vayikra focuses on building proper vessels for holding the original light of creation, transformed into a holy fire in the Book of Shemot, the main theme of the Book of Bamidbar is integrating these lights and vessels into our lives. No longer is the external light, fire and candelabra the focus, but rather the human eye that sees and perceives these divine reflections. During their trying wilderness wanderings, the Israelites were struggling with integrating inner vision, which brings about true emunah (faith). Eventually, they learned to look beyond the façade of their trials and tribulations and tune into Hashem's concealed Indwelling Presence accompanying them every step on their way. This gave them the ability to elevate the fallen sparks trapped in the various stations of their journey. Parasha Meditations: Bamidbar teaches us likewise to extract holy sparks by developing inner vision in every situation we are placed, and to actively search for the divine goodness within our surroundings and within ourselves.
