Portion Of Key Tavo - talking blessings curses and a Torah Carved in Stone (and in our SOULS)
In this week's portion G-d tells Moshe to tell the people
"G-D SAYS CARVE a copy of the Torah IN STONE -
write it AT THE TOP OF THE SHECHEM MOUNTAIN"
Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach used to teach -
what it says in the Torah - WE HAVE TO DO
SO
CLOSE YOUR EYES - and
Listen to MOSES TALKING -
AND WATCH all those thousands of workers setting up stones and carving the words of the Torah on the mountain.
where are the stones today - when the Arabs are even destroying any artifacts on our Holy Temple Mount -
the WORDS " carve it in stone" must echo to us
But this Portion also has the curses - carried out at the time of the Second Temple destruction -
what would Reb Shlomo say?
I remember he said -
Key Tavo - curses NOT set in Stone - happiness set in Stone
Rabbi Mendele Vitebsker always wanted that Aliyah -
he was not well-
but Reb Mendele said
"in the sickness described in the Torah - is hidden 'THE HEALING qualities ..."
This is our TORAH - all hidden blessings!
So open your hearts -
a regular Torah is written on skins of kosher animals - softened to accept the ink-
BUT the TORAH in STONE
(I believe) IS IN EVERY STONE OF THE HOLY LAND!
REB SHLOMO USED TO SAY
" TELL THE WORLD - that the TORAH is CARVED in STONE on the Shechem Mountain-"
for hundreds of years it was visible-
but now WE must remind the world that the Shechem Mountain was BOUGHT by our forefather Jacob and our 4 foremothers and the 12 tribes!
To tell us and all the world about the hidden blessings in everything from G-d!
Let it be written gently in our softened hearts like a PARCHMENT Torah -
so that it will be strong as STONE - for the world to "see" and understand!
Shabbat Shalom from Israel
