Torah thoughts
A king gave the hand of his
only daughter in marriage. He
asked but one thing of his son-in-
law. “Wherever you may be, pre
pare for me a dwelling, a place
where I can stay when I come to
visit you.” The king is G-d. The
Torah is His only daughter. All
He asks of His son-in-law, the
Jewish nation, is to prepare for
Him a habitation—an environ
ment of Torah-study and prayer
where the Shechina, G-d’s pres
ence, may dwell. As King Solo
mon writes: “The voice of My
Beloved knocks, Open up for
Me!”
The Almighty taps at the heart
of the Jew and pleads with him to
open up the door even a tiny
crack, even “like the point of a
needle,” to make even the small
est attempt at Torah study and
prayer, and G-d promises him,
“...and 1 will open (it wide) for
and His intention in “hiding” is
not to remain hidden and con
cealed behind the facade of nature,
but that we should seek him.
All of this beautiful parable
describes the pattern of the month
Elul, Rosh Hashana, the Ten
Days of Repentance and Yom
Kippur, up until the closing prayer
of Ne’ilah. During this period G-d
is described as being “close,” in a
sense “tapping at the door.” As
the prophet tells Israel concern
ing this season, “Seek G-d when
He is to be found, call Him when
He is close.” Chassidism describes
this period as one in which the
fire-source (G-d) comes close to
the spark (the individual soul).
The pattern continues until the
close (and the climax) of Yom
Kippur, Ne’ilah, when we reach
the highest point of “finding”...
Him whom my soul loves. The
facade falls; the concealment is
no more. The Divine King and
His people Israel are one.
And this intense unity carries
over and finds full expression in
Simhat Torah.
In the time of the Bais Hamik-
dash, 70 oxen were offered on the
altar (during the seven-day festi
val of Sukkot) representing the
70 nations of the world. Then, on
the eighth day of Shemini Atzeret
and Simhat Torah, just one ox
and one ram were offered. Says
the Midrash: “This may be com
pared to a King who made a
seven-day feast and invited all
the inhabitants of his country
...When the seven days of feast
ing were over he said to his
beloved friend, ‘now that we have
fulfilled our duty for all the in
habitants of the country, let us
spend a while together,
just you and I alone...
