Shiru L'Adonai Shiru l'Adonai, shiru shir chadash; shiru l'Adonai, kol ha-aretz (2) Shiru l'Adonai, barchu sh'mo; bas-ru mi-yom l'yom y'shu-ato (2)

Commentary and Questions to Ponder

The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one man speaks to another. (Exodus 33:11) Moses was familiar with Him and he spoke to Him at any time he so desired. (Rashi) It is possible that this is the intent of the verse: when two persons see one another face to face, they become acquainted with each other through that meeting. Scripture therefore says whom the Lord knew face to face. (Nachmanides) We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature. (Ralph Waldo Emerson) What constitutes true intimacy with God? Frequent, spontaneous, and informal contact (see Rashi)? A sustained, growing, and deepening acquaintance (see Nachmanides)? The ability to perceive God every day and all around us (see Emerson)? Have modern technology and social media diminished our ability to appreciate and our opportunities to experience what it means to speak face to face, as a person would speak to a friend? What mechanisms does Jewish practice provide to redress this challenge to genuine intimacy in personal relationships?

(Sing unto God a new song, sing forth all the earth! Sing unto God, blessed be God's name, Praise God for God's daily help!)

Song while the 2nd Torah is being dressed

Eitz Chayim Hee Eitz chayim hee l'ma-cha-zikim bah v'tom'che-ha m'ushar (2) D'ra-che-ha darchei no-am v'chol n'tivo-te-ha shalom (2)

(It is a tree of life to them that hold fast to it and all its supporters are happy; its ways are ways of pleasantness and all its paths are peace.)
