    This is a parsha that begs to be split. Like the split letter "vav" in a kosher sefer Torah in the word "shalom". Old Spearchucker gets his reward. There's a census of our ancestors. The laws of inheritance. The mo'adim, fixed holidays. Rather than reveal my level of incompetence by drashing in detail on the above, I'm going to do something easy, yet informative and entertaining. Look up words in the dictionary.
