OU TORAH YU TORAH and NAALEH.COM Desert Dessert By Shira Smiles

Summary by Channie Koplowitz Stein L’iluy nishmat haRav Meir Yaakov ben Aharon v’Fruma Zlotowitz – R”Ch 1 Tamuz (30 Sivan) 5777 One of the ten recorded Biblical songs, the Song of the Well, is found in Parshat Chukas. In addition to describing the well itself, where it came from and where it goes, the well and its song are also a metaphor for Torah, as water and Torah are both necessary for our survival. The well was mimidbar matanah/a gift from the wilderness that then continued to nachaliel/the valley, and from the valleys to the heights and from the heights to the valleys.
