Parshas Behaloscha

Lezchos Moshe ben Blima lerefuah shlaima
In the Parsha we learn about the appointment of the Leveim and of the process they went through to attain their holiness. The Pasuk (8;16) says "Ki nissunim nissunim hiema li" For given, given are they (the Leviem) to me. Rashi says that why does it say "given" two times? One is that the leviem were given over to Hashem for singing in the Bais Hamikdos and so to they were given to Hashem for the carrying of the mishkon. What is the juxtaposition between the two jobs the Leviem were given? What is the relationship between the building and ubuilding of the Mishkon and the singing in it?
Sometimes in life we go through periods of 'massah' where we feel like we are just carrying through. There are stages in life where its hard and one can't understand how he'll climb out of the rut. Sometimes it can be a sickness c"v or the like, or just 'tzar giddel bonim' the hardships of raising children when it just looks and feels like everything you ever build is being destroyed or you just feel like your always on the go but just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. (Everyone goes through this sometimes, but hopefully most of the time small problems). The Torah is teaching you how to deal with it and grow with it, the key is, to think ahead to the future when the day will come and you'll have your chance to do your share of singing, of rejoicing and enjoying Hashems world. There is a story told of R' Giddel Eisin who was Rosh Yeshiva of Gur after the war. He said that he was not the best bachur growing up in Europe. The bachur that was better then him survived the war, but did not reach the great potential he had. R' Eisen said this was because whenever it got hard the other one would lament what was lost, while he always looked to the future and felt that he would survive and rebuild. That is why he stayed with all the Torah and Avodah that he worked on before the war while his friend almost lost all of it. That is the lesson here that the leviem were the ones that took down and moved the mishkon. How where they able to go through the dismantling stage? The Torah tells us by remembering that one day in the near future they will be the ones that will sing in a beautiful Mishkon - that is what got them through the hard and schlepping times. After the churban when the Leviem were asked to sing for their enemies they answered "Aich nashir es shir Hashem al admas neichor" (How can we sing Hashem's songs on a foreign soil) (Tehillem 137). What they were saying was that it's impossible to sing shira of the Bais Hamikdosh if you don't have the hardships that come along with the upkeep of Hashems house. Now that they were in exile they couldn't sing the songs of Bais Hamikdosh for they didn't have the work that came along. Just as it's impossible to go through the hard work of the upkeep of the Mishkon without the shira so to it's impossible to sing properly without first going through the stage of hard work. Only one who goes through difficulties can really appreciate the shira at the end of the day. Just getting up and starting to sing is not a real shira, shira comes from the heart from the depth of your heart and that comes only after living life to its fullest. Dovid Hamelach was the greatest composer in history. If we look through Tehillim we find most chapters deal with hardships that Dovid went through. The message is clear. Dovid was only able to sing the beautiful compositions of Tehillim because he lived through the hardships and grew with them. Only then could he sing the holiest song to Hashem. The two avodahs of the Leviem are intertwined, you cannot survive the 'masseh' the carring through daily life without realizing the shira, but yet you cannot expect to sing a real meaningful shira without first living life with all the challenges it throws your way.
The Chazal tell us that the 600,000 jews counted in the midbar represent the 600,000 letters in the Torah. The question is raised - What happened with the leviem? What part of the Torah do they represent? The seforim answer that the Leviem represent the parchment of the Sefer Torah. Meaning to say they are ones that keep the Torah and the jews together, helpping us get through the gulos as one keeping us together with the Torah, and the only way to do this is learning from the leviem, and realizing that one day real soon we will dance and sing the ultimate shira in Yerushlaim with Moshiach Amen.
