Our Trip?

The Torah portion recounts all the places we camped, in our travels through the desert for 40 years. Why must we read about it every year? isn't once a lifetime enough? Isn't this boring to our children-even to us it seems tedious!
We are told by our teachers that everything in Torah has a direct relevance to our lives especially during the week we read that particular Torah portion . So what is our lesson here?What profound or entertaining insight can i give myself , much less my snoring listeners and napping readers?
Summertime is a time we all travel in order to spend time with our families in order to get away from it all ! The Torah says we aren't traveling to get away , we are traveling towards the Promised
Land . With that in mind we have to assess as to whether we are traveling in the right direction.
Sometimes our travels take us from our goal , at which point we must try to right our moral compasses or re-evaluate our goals. This is why we talk about travel at this point of the year since we think about our plans to see new things and experience new delights at this time.

Let's focus on the importance of our life's goals and see what our activities are leading us to.
