The Royal Mint has produced its largest commemorative coin in 1,000 years - the 'Queen's Beast' - The 10-kilo gold coin took 400 hours to produce – including four days of polishing –  and has been described by the Mint as a “masterwork”.
The coin marks the conclusion of the Mint’s Queen’s Beasts commemorative coin collection, a series which took its inspiration from 10 stone statues that lined the Queen’s route to Westminster Abbey at her coronation in 1953.
The new coin reunites all 10 beasts in one design, also including a lion, griffin, falcon, bull, yale, greyhound, dragon, unicorn, and a horse. Among the beasts are The Lion of England, The Unicorn of Scotland, The Red Dragon of Wales and The Griffin of Edward III.

Parasha Naso (Elevate): The Lord Bless You and Keep You 

The title of this week’s Parasha, Naso, means lift up or elevate.  It was the term used to take a head count (census) of the children of Israel.  In the Hebrew it reads, 

Lift up the heads” (נָשֹׂא אֶת רֹאשׁ — naso et rosh).

This week, the headcount of the Israelites is completed with a census of the Levites who are between the ages of 30 and 50.  They are to do the work of transporting the Mishkan (Tabernacle).

Besides discussing the duties of the Levites, this Scripture portion also provides the law of the nazir, or Nazirite, and the Aaronic Benediction (Birkat Kohanim — ברכת כהנים), more commonly known as the Priestly Blessing. 

“. . . therefore the priests spread their palms, to say that the Holy One stands behind us.  And so it is written: 

‘There He stands behind our wall, gazing through the window, peering through the lattice.’  (Song of Songs 2:9)  ‘Gazing through the window’—through the fingers of the priests; ‘peering through the lattice’—when they spread their palms, therefore it says ‘Thus shall you bless them.’”  (Tanhuma (Buber) Parashat Naso, Article 15, cited by netivot-shalom)
