I heard this dvar Torah tonight from Rabbi Paysach Krohn at a gathering in memory of ????? ??? ?? ???? ??? who was nifteres a little more than a month ago. May her neshama have an aliya.
The Zohar says that the word Yisrael is Roshei Taivos Yesh Shishim Ribo Osiyos BaTorah. There are 600,000 letters in the Torah. The Jews (600,000 of them left Mitzraim) are compared to the letters in the Torah. Just as if one letter is missing the entire Torah is passul, so too we have to look at the Jewish people as if everyone is an important part of the whole – Kol Yisrael Areivim Zeh Lazeh. Also, in a Torah, no two letters can overlap. So too, every Jew has a tachlis amongst Klal Yisrael.
When we are mekabel the Torah tomorrow night, we must keep in mind that every Jew must be mekabel his cheilek in the Torah and we must try and help out those who are not fortunate enough to have learned Torah yet to begin learning and following it. In honor of the upcoming Yom Tov of Shavuos please consider donating a letter in a Sefer Torah.
Side note: In the Purim Story and Story Tapes threads, I along with Moderator-42 and Just Smile were quoting song lyrics. Who knows what song these lyrics come from (not a story tape): “I just want to find my letter in the Torah, I know it’s somewhere out there, if I can only see. I just want to find my letter in the Torah. The one that’s written just for me.”
