The Letter

Bahya Ibn Pakuda compared the Torah to a letter sent by a king to a subject whom he loves.  When the letter is finally received, some of the words have faded, the writing is unclear and much is left to be deciphered by the reader.  Still, if the subject  loves the king as much as he is loved by him, he will be undeterred in his effort to decipher it.

So the letter falls to our hands.  May our hearts be worthy and unyielding in our efforts to make it clear what the King wants to communicate.
