The Jewish soul was ‘carved out’ from the kisei hakavod; a dwelling filled with holiness. The soul descends into this world and experiences yearning and difficulties since its only true desire is to return on high. Her only comfort is found in the words of the Torah; they summon the warm loving memories of closeness she felt in the upper realms.
The letters of the word simcha שמחה when switched around read חמשה – the five books of the Torah Kedosha. Our soul experiences endless happiness and is given ‘weaponry’ to fight her way through the battles of life every time we study Torah. Torah is the vital elixir of life; it offers guidance through every challenge and words of wisdom to every question.
If we take the first letters of the following words in Hebrew: bones עצמות, flesh בשר, and blood דם we spell the word servant עבד. Mankind is born to be enslaved – the question is to whom and what. In order to remain loyal to our One and Only true master, Hashem Yitborach, it is imperative to ask Hashem to ‘remind’ us b’rachamim who we are here to serve and help us not get confused along the way.
