Carrying the Torah through the Desert
I want to share what I realized at last week’s Shabbat service. When the Torah service began, we sang, as usual, It happened upon the journeying of the Ark, Moses said, “Rise, Eternal,” and Your enemies were dispersed, and Your foes were put to flight from before You. וַיְהִי בִּנְסֹעַ הָאָרֹן וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה קוּמָה יְהֹוָה…
