Bamidbar: Free For All

The Medrash tells us that Torah is compared to a desert; just as a desert is ???? ???, free to all, so too the Torah is only given to one who makes themselves available to all, ?? ?????? ???? ???.

Perhaps we can suggest that this why our Parsha, which is focused on counting all of the Jews, begins with mentioning the midbar. Just like the desert is accessible to all, only somebody who is there for every single Jew can become a teacher and leader of the people.

The Torah is not given to any one individual; Hashem promised it to the nation as a whole. The best way to ensure that Hashem gives you access to the light of the Torah is to approach learning Torah not for your individual satisfaction, but as a representative of the people.
