Cleavages - Looking at פרשה that seems to be completely asunder – in terms not only of its achronic nature and zigzagging through time and space (and our place in time/space)– but also asunder in terms of the internal soul which si torn between the opening פורענות of the running כתינוק מבית הספר and the פסוק that follows – which should have followed immediately: the complaining about travel and the desire to have a place were we could stop – which is utterly mad! But somehow here comes story of ויהי בנסוע הארון in the middle as an insert which "doesn't seem to belong"–
We begin with this sense of disjointedness and come to understand that in fact the פרשה is fabulously well organized: that was the theme we need to explain!
it turns out that the ארון itself in the bracketing of the פרשה contains both elements of beginning and ending of פרשה by representing 2 breasts of the 2 בדי הארון with is שני שדייך כשני עפרים תואמי צביה (*שדייך נכונו?) only in this פרשה defined definitively: אהרון הכהן לדורות בנרות זכריה, ומשה רבינו לדורות לא קם בישראל כמשה the unassuming one beyond all, defined so by his own sister who finally gets שכר for ותתצב אחותו מרחוק – so what appears to be disaster turns out to be exceedingly well structured
Our theme focuses on resolution – that cleavage –and comes to focus on the ארון itself as not only the symbol of what could unify and resolve that tension by being תורה which is pure revelation לוחות הברית– but is pure movement in how בדים signify nature of movement – and come to find that the very same breasts of בדי בית המקדש is that which delineates a cleavage for our head – this means that the nursing of משה vs the בשר they were demanding is terrible error– there is always the space בין שדי ילין –the space towards which we daven – between the 2 נונים which becomes the space of יהושע בן נון itself – it is there that we explore the nature of (*שלשת הרועים)
