This Torah is to be cradled; to be guarded. It is to be guarded by priests who convey its contents to the people. This is a Torah to that is treasured, but also a Torah that remains alone, far from the people to whom it was given.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second, though, is the Torah of the stones. This Torah is different: it has no container. Its purpose is to be read, and to that end, it must be written clearly. Whereas the other Torah remains in the center of the Temple, surrounded by the scent of sacrifices and by songs of service, this Torah remains on the edge of the land; exposed to rain and wind and the eyes of anyone who cares to read it. This Torah is a Torah of the people, but it is also a Torah unprotected, a Torah that can not just be read, but misread, tarnished, and disrespected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We still haven\u2019t decided what form we want our Torah to take: we still don\u2019t know whether our feelings of reverence are stronger than our feelings of pride, whether our desire to protect Torah is stronger than our need to spread it. The ark is lost and the stones have been reduced to dust, and still, we haven\u2019t decided how to shape the Torah, where to place it, or how to love it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","image":{"ID":51741,"id":51741,"title":"dt27-two-torahs","filename":"dt27-two-torahs.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt27-two-torahs.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/two-types-of-torah\/dt27-two-torahs\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"dt27-two-torahs","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":51733,"date":"2019-03-20 11:36:43","modified":"2022-09-05 05:58:01","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":279,"height":196,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt27-two-torahs-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt27-two-torahs.jpg","medium-width":279,"medium-height":196,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt27-two-torahs.jpg","medium_large-width":279,"medium_large-height":196,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt27-two-torahs.jpg","large-width":279,"large-height":196,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt27-two-torahs.jpg","1536x1536-width":279,"1536x1536-height":196,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt27-two-torahs.jpg","2048x2048-width":279,"2048x2048-height":196,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt27-two-torahs.jpg","post_full_size-width":279,"post_full_size-height":196,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt27-two-torahs.jpg","home_baner-width":279,"home_baner-height":196}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"Two Types Of Torah","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"Protected, guarded, distant -
