Each week, we read a different section of the Torah. Sometimes we read stories about our ancestors’ journeys. Sometimes we read details about the ancient Temple or complex lists of laws. Whatever the content, the Torah portion (or parashah) is frequently the basis for discussions and sermons at Shabbat services in synagogue and throughout the week. Torah text has also been the inspiration for many contemporary songs, poems, and prayers.Â
“Take that fear, Israel, / And what threatens to shatter; / Choose to use it as a Blessing”
“It has been set before me to choose, the curse or the blessing”
“There is nothing like death / To bring a clarity to vision.”
“Jacob gave his blessings, / although some say he faltered”
“Awash in the radiating comfort / Of this blessed, giving friend”
