Our Parsha begins with G-d telling Moshe the transport duties of the three families of the tribe of Levi.
The first family, Gershon, carried all the tapestries, veils, and skins used in the Mishkan.
The Kehos family was tasked with transporting all the holy vessels custom-made for the Kohanim.
The Merari family was entrusted with carrying its structural components.

We learn why love is essential to our connection with God.
