Fox .1 I A Why is it a special honor to remove and return the Torah Scroll from and to the Ark? There was a time in Jewish his tory when it was not safe to keep the Torah Scroll in the synagogue, because of enemies who would seek to break in and destroy the Scroll. Instead, a trustworthy, loyal Jew would keep the Torah at home and bring it to the syna gogue whenever necessary. Now, when the times allow' a Torah to be kept safe in the synagogue, taking it out of the Ark and returning it remain actions of honor. Why is it required to have a quorum present at a Jewish wedding? While it might seem that a wedding is strictly private, it is an event that affects the public, as once the couple is married, neither spouse can marry again without a divorce. Thus, the ceremony is held in public. It is also claimed that a happy occasion such as a wedding should spread joy unsel fishly among others in the com munity. Thus, at least the quo rum (minyan) is required. Why do traditional Jews resist counting people by numbers? Some commentaries trace this back to the system mentioned in the biblical Book of Numbers. Moses was commanded to count the Israelites by collecting a half shekel coin from each of them, and not by actually counting the people. The mystics indicate that counting people can he damag ing to their destiny. So to make sure, for example, that a quorum of 10 is present for public prayer, those present are identified with a word of a 10-word passage in the Psalms. Thus, the words are counted, not the people. Why does the leader of the ser vice (the cantor) repeat the main body of prayer—the “Shemonah Esreh”—after the individuals of the congregation have recited it in soft tones? There are really two dimen sions in Jewish prayer. One is the community prayer, the other is the individual prayer. Both are required to fulfill the obligation of prayer in Jewish traditions. The public dimension is fulfilled by the loud recitation of benedic tions chanted by the leader with the congregation responding “Amen” after each. I his type of public prayer, according to some commentar ies, even comprises the people who are not present in the syn agogue, since the prayers are always said in the plural. The Talmud explicitly says the basic reason for the cantor’s repetition of the prayers is be cause some of the individuals might have made an error in some of their recitations. Thus, i he pu blic chanting would include them in the perleet recitation of nraver. ifuotm r ^r*'y ni (1*. . - i • V ’ '. ' j* -j X /, • ■ X * • 1 * • ■ «.* RIIHIHBnMBHi
