A DAILY WALK WITH TORAH ON YOUR TONGUE

BH
"This is the Golden Altar, on which the priest would offer incense twice a day, every morning and afternoon. It was placed in the inner Sanctuary, near the Golden Menorah." [Chabad.org]

Standing, upright, self-pride, encouragement, daring, number one, opening Ark doors every morning, reading Torah, sweetly singing second Aliyah, stained glass windows trickling sunlight through colored panels of cut glass, reflections of prismatic rainbow lights pouring in and dancing on the purple velvety carpet, siddurs placed uniformly in the shelves of each bench in the synagogue, books that are read and reread, book bindings repaired, glued and strengthened, books of the colors blue and maroon, containing words of wisdom, "to do what you love to do everyday."

Tying on tefillin on your left arm, pulling it tight, pumping up the arm at the elbow and securing the leather box, counting seven times and wrapping the end of the leather strap on your hand forming a shin and wrapping it 3 times around your middle finger, a connection to G-d, a place of equal rights, both men and women wearing tefillin, full and equal access to the Kotel, women reading Torah at the Kotel and having full human rights to it all.

Praying and kissing the yellow brick, bowing one's head, wrapping one's head in a tallit, privacy, a one-to-one union with G-d. Women Rabbis leading the prayer worship services, women Cantors singing and leading the songs, men and women sitting egalitarian style lovingly one woman next to one man, filling the Sanctuary with a count over ten to form a minyan, at least ten coming back day after day, able to pray the Kaddish for dead mothers and fathers, more in a minyan because the women count.

Israel believing in the equal rights of women, supporting their women, lawful protection of women reading Torah at the Kotel, a belief in women being as strong as men, both genders having strength, equal strength, not one gender having strength at the expense of the other gender being weak.

Children growing up emotionally close to both parents, loving both parents, have nurturing from both the mother and the father, easier to obey the commandment "To honor Father and Mother." Therefore it  becomes easier to believe in a true one Almighty G-d with both parents being respected even when they are wrong.

Obeying the Commandments without fear, not giving up on a belief in G-d if someone tries to take Him away from you, keeping words of The Torah in your memory at all times, carry the words with you into the day everywhere you go, not letting someone take the words away from you.

Believing in loving-kindness and understanding, compassion, mercy and justice, and never letting this go.
