265. Naso: Carry Torah Close To My Heart

Chelek Chof Ches pg 49. Carrying the Torah close to my heart is the correct location for the Torah. The Rebbe explains a powerful difference between the Aron and the other keilim of the Mishkan. While the Leviim transported all the holy objects, the Aron had a unique requirement: “upon the shoulder they shall carry it.” The Rambam brings the story of Dovid and Uzah not as history, but as halacha, the Aron itself requires a specific place. Because it contains the Luchos and a Sefer Torah, its place is to be carriedon the shoulders, close to your heart.. Similarly, a Sefer Torah always has a place it belongs: in the Aron Kodesh in shul, and close to one’s heart during travel. In Chassidus, the Luchos represent a revelation of “Hashem’s face”,  a direct pnimiyus connection created through Torah. This is the deeper meaning of facing the Aron while carrying it: where a person’s focus, identity, and geshmak truly lie. As we come from Shavuos and approach Gimmel Tammuz, the avodah is to keep our “faces” turned toward the Rebbe’s inyanim and the Torah of the Rebbe, making sure our geshmak is in the holy stuff. With a HUGE thank you to this Week’s Sicha Sponsors: Anonymous, in honor of the birthday and shidduch of our sister.
