Counting the Omer. Day 9
As a photographer, I often think visually as well as in words. These images* depict some of what Torah means to me.
The word of the Lord is true, enduring forever.
A touch and loving kiss.
Barchu et Adonai Ha-mevorach!
Our history written by Scribes for thousands of years.
Cared for with respect and tradition.
Fulfilling the 613th Mitzvah!
A tree of life for those that behold it.
A set of values for all people.
Carrying Jewish values, culture and law.
Shema Yisrael...
Leading Hakafot with pride.
A touch and loving kiss.
Passing the Torah from generation to generation.
Remembering that first Aliyah
The glow of a family Torah blessing.
Barchu et Adonai Ha-mevorach!
Out of Zion shall go forth the Torah.
Reading, learning, and living Jewish history.
An Adult Bat Mitzvah. It is never too late to learn.
Dressing the Torah with love.
Keeping it safe in its home in the Holy Ark.
Dancing with the Torah.
I feel a need to explain that one of the photographs of Rabbi Rozenberg is taken in a church; the church that now uses Beth Jacob's former home. It was, by all accounts, an amazing evening as the Torah returned to its former location to share its wisdom with a new congregation.
