Aliya Summary: The Levites, too, will not receive a share of the land
of Israel. Instead they are entitled to a tenth of all the Israelites'
crops--this in return for the Tabernacle and Temple services which they
render. Upon receiving this tithe, the Levites must, in turn, separate
a tenth of this tithe and give it to the priests.
So
the Levites get 10% of everyone's crops, and they must give 10% of that
to the priests. This underscores the importance of giving, regardless
of how or how much you have. As Rav Dessler explains, giving is what
makes us love others, not receiving. The more you "invest" in those
around you by giving them love, food, money, attention or respect, the
more you grow to appreciate and love them, and the phenomenon grows
exponentially from there. But it all starts by giving (this is where I
should link you do the Donate page for Lelamed.com, but I won't).
