BONUS Dvar Torah for Shelach 7th Aliyah: Actual text: https://tinyurl.com/45djz5wj Parashas Shelach ends with the commandment to wear tzitzis on all four-cornered garments as to remind us of the six hundred and thirteen mitzvos (15:39). Rabbi Yochanan Zweig wonders how this mitzvah serves as a reminder to perform others if the mitzvah is entirely avoidable by not wearing four-cornered clothing in the first place. Rashi explains that the numerical value of the word “tzitzis,” plus the eight strings and five knots that make up the tzitzis equals six hundred and thirteen, which alludes to the six hundred and thirteen opportunities to do mitzvos. Rabbi Zweig explains that the fact that we wear tzitzis is a reminder to look for other mitzvos to perform. Our choice to wear tzitzis demonstrates that our actions are initiated by our love for God. Tzitzis remind us to look for creative ways to make a positive contribution to our world, not because of the commandment itself but because it’s what we do for whom we love. There are many ways to take initiative, express our devotion, and leave an impression on the world around us, if we just remember to look.
