The Letter Mem: Daily Discussion Demonstrating Love of Torah! : Studying Tehillim: Chapter 119 (verses of Mem, part 1)
“Oh, how I love your Torah” exclaims King David “all day long it is my speech.” Illustrating of how the 13th Hebrew letter is uniquely related to our Torah –the opening verses of “Mem” begin with a demonstrative Davidic proclamation of deep affection towards it. Probing further, employing terminology typically associated with casual conversation speaks volumes about breaking ground and transporting Torah truisms into concrete new horizons. Jagged divisions are justified and clarified as the circle of mitzvah remembrances completes via Torah verbalizations.
