Description

Following the census, the 12 tribes are placed into 4 specific encampments around the Mishkan, with Shevet Levi in the center. What is the significance of this formation? Why is Klal Yisrael only being structured this way now, at the opening of Sefer Bamidbar? Through the wisdom of the Maharal, we delve into the deep meaning of the number 4, examine how it relates to these encampments, and understand how it establishes a powerful structure for the organization of Klal Yisrael in the desert.
