I am very excited for the opportunity to share words of Torah with you. Each week, in this spot, I look to share an idea I've found that speaks to me and that I think will resonate with you as well. This week, I share with you an excerpt from an article by Rabbi Eli Scheller entitled "Becoming the CEO" about the possible reasoning behind one of the last Mitzvot in the Torah.
So now, write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel… (31:19) Our Sages derive from this verse that each person is required to write a Sefer Torah [...]. Even if one inherited a Sefer Torah or received one as a gift, he is nevertheless still obligated to write one. Why is it so important for each individual to write his own Sefer Torah?
A person who starts a business will put his whole heart and soul into it. He will stay up late at night and spend lots of money to make sure everything runs smoothly. If anyone makes a negative remark about his company, he will be the first one to stick up for it. For some reason he never gets sick and doesn’t need to take off. [...] There is no comparison between an employee and the founder of a company.
A person is obligated to write his own Sefer Torah because Hashem wants a person to feel the Torah is his own, and not a hand-me-down. Each individual is meant to become a CEO over the Torah, going to great lengths to make sure he fulfills the Torah, and spending the time and effort to ensure that his “business” is running smoothly. Hoping and praying for a Shabbat Shalom and a Shanah Tovah, Rabbi Davies Rabbi@SOICherryHill.org
