Mayer Friedman, who was a teacher of Solomon Schechter in Vienna, once interpreted a phrase taken from the Sifra . “Torah was commanded us through Moses, a heritage (morasha) to the community of Jacob.” Deuteronomy 33:4 “Do not read ‘heritage’ (morasha) but ‘maiden’ (m’orsa).” A heritage is a lifeless piece of information- something we inherit from our ancestors. We must study to make our heritage viable just as the maiden becomes a mother and produces children. – Rabbi Louis Jacobs Go. Learn. Teach. Be.
