Meaning of Torah

By S. H. LANDAU
in "Towards an Explanation
of Our Ideology," (1924)
What do we mean by
Torah?
This "Torah," the heritage
of Israel, has two basic mean-
ings: the first refers to the
Torah as a code of law which
is incumbent upon the indi-
vidual, which every single
Jew must obey; the second
c,
•es the Torah as a total-
it.,
J the national spirit, the
source of its culture and life
—i.e., the national and col-
lective aspects of the Torah.
(These ideas are, of course,
not new). In its individual
aspect the Torah is unrelated
to the nation as nation; it re-
lates only to the children of
Israel as individuals. In this
sense it is an obligation that
rests on every Jew in the
Diaspora, and all the more
so in the Land of Israel. This,
however, implies no specific
and essential connection he-
tween the Torah and the
process of rebirth in Eretz
Yisrael. The second meaning
of Torah, as the collective
spirit of the people, implies
a totally different relation-
ship. The Torah, interpreted
in this sense, permeates com-
pletely the process of the na-
tional renaissance, appearing
as both cause and effect, and
it is therefore as related to
the essence of the renais-
sance as the flame is to the
glowing ember. A national
renaissance is inconceivable
without the national spirit,
"for our people is not a peo-
ple except through its Tor-
ah," and the spirit of our
peOple cannot express it:. elf
