We will dance as one

The End is Only  the Beginning This Simchas Torah, as we celebrate the completion of the Torah, we look ahead to another extraordinary milestone: The Siyum HaShas. The day when Klal Yisrael will raise the flag of Torah, dance together, and celebrate as one. Waving the Banner  of Torah For the official symbol of the great Siyum,  The Agudah chose the image of a ship.  It was not chosen simply as a visual motif. The ship carries within it the story of the daf, the story of Klal Yisroel, and the meaning of the long journey that leads to the day of the Siyum. Chazal tell us ( יבמות דף קכ״א ) that רבי עקיבא was once saved at sea by holding on to a דף של ספינה, a plank of a ship, against the crashing waves. Rav Meir Shapiro saw in this an allusion to the דף גמרא — the page to which a Yid holds fast as he makes his way through the waves and upheavals of the generations. This is the דף של ספינה of Klal Yisroel. Generations come and go. Countries change, societies change, and the waves of galus rise and fall around us. But the דף remains in our hands. Another דף, and then another. The same דף learned in the בית המדרש, at home, on the road, and in every corner of the world. Like a ship making its way through a turbulent sea toward safe harbor, Klal Yisroel continues its journey with the דף גמרא in hand. That is why the symbol takes the form of a ship whose sails themselves resemble open pages of Gemara. Page follows page. One דף joins another, one מסכת joins the next, until those pages become the force that carries the journey forward. And this continues the idea of מסכת itself. Just as thread after thread is woven until a complete fabric emerges, so too דף after דף becomes a מסכת, and מסכת after מסכת becomes an entire world of Torah. And when we reach the end, we do not truly arrive at an ending. We return to the beginning and begin again. Throwback:  Siyum Maseches Sukkah Rewatch the Music Video!     רבינו הקדוש chose the name מסכת for each section of תורה שבעל פה. The תוי״ט explains, based on the ספר חסידים, that the word מסכת is related to weaving. תורה שבעל פה is not merely learned; it is worked through, woven together, thread by thread. In the work of weaving, the shuttle passes again and again through the threads. Each pass adds another layer to the cloth, until what began as separate strands becomes one complete fabric. So too with a מסכת. A person may finish a מסכת and feel that he has already been through it. But תורה is not something one “finishes.” הפוך בה והפוך בה. Each time one returns, another thread is added. Another עומק becomes visible. Another טעם emerges that was not there before. חז״ל compare דברי תורה to a mother’s milk: כל זמן שהתינוק ממשמש בו מוצא בו טעם. The more one returns to Torah, the more there is to find. And perhaps this is the deeper meaning of the name מסכת. A woven fabric has no meaning in one pass of the thread alone. Its beauty comes from the constant movement back and forth, each return strengthening and completing what came before. So too, אין קץ לתורתנו. No חלק of Torah is ever truly “finished.” Its סוף is always connected back to its תחילה. That may also be the meaning behind the minhag at a סיום מסכת to say a הדרן, connecting the end of the מסכת back to its beginning. Because a סיום in Torah is never an ending. It is another turn of the thread.   For the Family: Something sweet, something meaningful,  to enjoy over Sukkos.

פרק 6/ו

(א) לַמְנַצֵּחַ בִּנְגִינוֹת עַל הַשְּׁמִינִית מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד:

 (ב) ה' אַל בְּאַפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנִי וְאַל בַּחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵנִי:

 (ג) חָנֵּנִי ה' כִּי אֻמְלַל אָנִי רְפָאֵנִי ה' כִּי נִבְהֲלוּ עֲצָמָי:

(ד) וְנַפְשִׁי נִבְהֲלָה מְאֹד וְאַתָּה ה' עַד מָתָי:

 (ה) שׁוּבָה ה' חַלְּצָה נַפְשִׁי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּךָ:

 (ו) כִּי אֵין בַּמָּוֶת זִכְרֶךָ בִּשְׁאוֹל מִי יוֹדֶה לָּךְ:

 (ז) יָגַעְתִּי בְּאַנְחָתִי אַשְׂחֶה בְכָל לַיְלָה מִטָּתִי בְּדִמְעָתִי עַרְשִׂי אַמְסֶה:

(ח) עָשְׁשָׁה מִכַּעַס עֵינִי עָתְקָה בְּכָל צוֹרְרָי:

 (ט) סוּרוּ מִמֶּנִּי כָּל פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן כִּי שָׁמַע ה' קוֹל בִּכְיִי:

 (י) שָׁמַע ה' תְּחִנָּתִי ה' תְּפִלָּתִי יִקָּח:

 (יא) יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ מְאֹד כָּל אֹיְבָי יָשֻׁבוּ יֵבֹשׁוּ רָגַע:

 

 

1) For the musician, with musical accompaniment on the sheminis instrument, a mizmor by David. (2) Hashem, don’t rebuke me in Your anger. Don’t chastise me in Your rage. (3) Grant me Your mercy, Hashem, for I have been cut down. (4) Heal me, Hashem, for my bones shake with terror. My soul is utterly terrified, and You Hashem — How long? (5) Turn back, Hashem, release my soul. Save me as befits Your kindness ... (6) for there is no mention of You in death. In the grave who will thank You? (7) I am exhausted from groaning; every night my bed is drenched; with my tears I soil the place where I have lain.  (8) My eye is dimmed from anger, aged by all my tormentors. (9) Depart from me all wrongdoers, for Hashem has heard the sound of my weeping. (10) Hashem has heard my plea; Hashem will accept my prayer. (11) They will be ashamed and will be utterly astounded. When all my enemies return, they will be ashamed for a while.

 פרק 20/כ         

(א) לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד:

 (ב) יַעַנְךָ ה' בְּיוֹם צָרָה יְשַׂגֶּבְךָ שֵׁם אֱלֹקֵי יַעֲקֹב:

 (ג) יִשְׁלַח עֶזְרְךָ מִקֹּדֶשׁ וּמִצִּיּוֹן יִסְעָדֶךָּ:

 (ד) יִזְכֹּר כָּל מִנְחֹתֶךָ וְעוֹלָתְךָ יְדַשְּׁנֶה סֶלָה:

 (ה) יִתֶּן לְךָ כִלְבָבֶךָ וְכָל עֲצָתְךָ יְמַלֵּא:

 (ו) נְרַנְּנָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ וּבְשֵׁם אֱלֹקֵינוּ נִדְגֹּל, יְמַלֵּא ה' כָּל מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶיךָ:

(ז) עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי הוֹשִׁיעַ ה' מְשִׁיחוֹ יַעֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵי קָדְשׁוֹ בִּגְבֻרוֹת יֵשַׁע יְמִינוֹ:

 (ח) אֵלֶּה בָרֶכֶב וְאֵלֶּה בַסּוּסִים וַאֲנַחְנוּ בְּשֵׁם ה' אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַזְכִּיר:

 (ט) הֵמָּה כָּרְעוּ וְנָפָלוּ וַאֲנַחְנוּ קַּמְנוּ וַנִּתְעוֹדָד:

  (י) ה' הוֹשִׁיעָה הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם קָרְאֵנוּ:

 

(1) For the musician, a mizmor by David. (2) May Hashem answer you on the day of distress. May the Name of Yaakov’s G-d protect you. (3) May He send your help from the Mikdash; may He support you from Tzion. (4) May He give consideration to all your minchah-offerings. May He accept your olah-offerings, Selah. (5) May He grant you according to your heart. May He fulfill your every plan. (6) We will sing joyously because of your deliverance, and we will gather around banners in the Name of our G-d. May Hashem fulfill all your requests.  (7) Now I know that Hashem continues to save His anointed one. He will continue to answer from His holy heaven, with the mighty victories of His right hand. (8) Some [depend] on chariots, and some on horses. We call out the Name of Hashem, our G-d. (9) They slumped and fell, but we stood up and were empowered. (10) Hashem save! May the King answer us on the day we call.

1A song of ascents. From the depths I have called You, O Lord. 2O Lord, hearken to my voice; may Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 3O God, if You keep [a record of] iniquities, O Lord, who will stand? 4For forgiveness is with You, in order that You be feared. 5I hoped, O Lord; yea, my soul hoped, and I wait for His word. 6My soul is to the Lord among those who await the morning, those who await the morning. 7Israel, hope to the Lord, for kindness is with the Lord and much redemption is with Him. 8And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities     Psalms Chapter 142 תְּהִלִּים אמַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִ֑ד בִּֽהְיוֹת֖וֹ בַמְּעָרָ֣ה תְפִלָּֽה: בקוֹלִי אֶל־יְהֹוָ֣ה אֶזְעָ֑ק ק֜וֹלִ֗י אֶל־יְ֘הֹוָ֥ה אֶתְחַנָּֽן: גאֶשְׁפֹּ֣ךְ לְפָנָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י צָֽ֜רָתִ֗י לְפָ֘נָ֥יו אַגִּֽיד: דבְּהִתְעַטֵּ֬ף עָלַ֜י | רוּחִ֗י וְאַתָּה֘ יָדַ֪עְתָּ נְתִֽיבָ֫תִ֥י בְּאֹֽרַח־ז֥וּ אֲהַלֵּ֑ךְ טָֽמְנ֖וּ פַ֥ח לִֽי: ההַבֵּ֚יט יָמִ֨ין | וּרְאֵה֘ וְאֵין־לִ֪י מַ֫כִּ֥יר אָבַ֣ד מָנ֣וֹס מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֵ֖ין דּוֹרֵ֣שׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי: וזָעַ֥קְתִּי אֵלֶ֗יךָ יְהֹ֫וָ֥ה אָ֖מַרְתִּי אַתָּ֣ה מַחְסִּ֑י חֶ֜לְקִ֗י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּים: זהַקְשִׁ֚יבָה | אֶל־רִנָּתִי֘ כִּֽי־דַלּ֪וֹתִי מְ֫אֹ֥ד הַצִּילֵ֥נִי מֵרֹֽדְפַ֑י כִּ֖י אָֽמְצ֣וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי: חה֘וֹצִ֚יאָה מִמַּסְגֵּ֨ר | נַפְשִׁי֘ לְהוֹד֪וֹת אֶת־שְׁ֫מֶ֥ךָ בִּ֖י יַכְתִּ֣רוּ צַדִּיקִ֑ים כִּ֖י תִגְמֹ֣ל עָלָֽי:               1A maskil of David, when he was in the cave, a prayer. 2[With] my voice, I cry out to the Lord; [with] my voice, I supplicate the Lord. 3I pour out before Him my speech; my distress I recite before Him. 4When my spirit enwraps itself upon me, and You know my path. In whichever way I go, they have hidden a snare for me. 5Looking to the right, I see that no one recognizes me; escape is lost from me; no one seeks my soul. 6I cried out to You, O Lord; I said, "You are my refuge, my lot in the land of the living." 7Hearken to my cry for I have become very low; save me from my pursuers for they have overpowered me. 8Take my soul out of confinement to give thanks to Your name; because of me the righteous will crown You, because You will recompense me.
