SPIRIT
Words To Live By
W
henever we take
the Torah out from
the ark, we sing the
verse taken from our Torah por-
tion (Numbers 10:35):
“When the Ark was to set out,
Moses would say:
“
Advance, our God!
“May Your enemies
be scattered,
“
And may Your ene-
mies flee before You.
”
The verse takes
place when the peo-
ple of Israel were in
the wilderness for 40
years. They were not
traveling every day,
though. They would
stay in one place for a
long time. The Ark of
the Covenant would be
in the center of their
camp. When it was time to trav-
el, they would pick up the Ark
and announce that it was time
to go.
It was a box about 5 feet wide
and about 2 feet high and deep.
It was beautiful and covered
inside and out with gold, but it
was small. Inside was the Ten
Commandments written on
small pieces of stone; otherwise,
they would not have fit.
This was not the most intimi-
dating weapon. I can only imag-
ine their enemies when they saw
this coming. Oh, no, here come
the Israelites and their box of
rocks.
The Israelite enemies had
much more sophisticated tech-
nology; but we are still here, and
they are gone. They have been
scattered into the dustbin of
history.
Most of us will never lead
armies or devise military strat-
egies. More likely our decisions
will be how do we deal with the
people in our own homes. Do
we treat our disagreements like
battles to be won, using every
argument in our disposal to
defeat those who challenge us;
or do we look at every situation
as an opportunity to live by our
values in a difficult moment?
We must remember that
everyone, even those who
disagree with us, including
our family, deserves to be
treated with respect, dignity
and kindness.
The real weapon of our
people, and the only com-
pletely successful one, is that
we live according to the
values we take with us. The
Ten Commandments intro-
duced to the world respect
for individual rights and
their property. It insisted
upon human dignity for all.
Shabbat is one of the most
radical statements in history
on the value of being a human
being and not just a drone.
Everyone was entitled to a day
each week to pursue meaning
and spend time with their own
family and friends.
We are the ones who carry the
values of our tradition into the
world.
We can show that the greatest
weapon in the world to defeat
the senseless hatred in our
world is to live by the words of
the Torah that insist that God
loves every person, and that it
is our sacred obligation to cre-
ate a world where all of God’s
creation can live in peace and
dignity.
May our enemies be scattered
by the love we bring into a world
that needs that more than any-
thing.
