Weekly update by Oriel.
In the book of Numbers, chapter 6, verses 24-26, Aaron and his sons are commanded to bless Israel. Twice a year, on Passover and Succoth (Sukkot*), at the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) in Jerusalem, this blessing is publicly sung by the priests over the people of Israel. Jews whose surname is ‘Cohen,’ which is derived from 'cohanim,' meaning 'priests' in Hebrew, sing the priestly blessing over the Israelite nation.
Blessing our children is very much ingrained in both secular and religious Jewish society. In kindergarten on the children’s birthdays, the class one by one pronounce a blessing over the birthday child. As a parent of many children, it always has brought me much joy to accompany my child to kindergarten on his or her birthday and hear the students pronounce the blessing. Isaac blesses Jacob and Esau, Jacob blesses the twelve tribes of Israel at the end of his life, and God commands Moses to have Aaron and his sons, as members of the Levitical priesthood, to bless the children of Israel.
