The Joy of the Torah

by Digital Maggid

Once on Simchas Torah, the Rebbe Yisroel Rizhiner was dancing unstoppably with a great big Sefer Torah (Torah Scroll) in his arms. A student asked him:
“Rebbe, isn’t that sefer Torah too heavy for you?”
“No,” replied the Rebbe casually. “As long you don’t stop, she doesn’t get too heavy.”

As illogical as it sounds, this is true. I know it from my own experience. Once you start to dance with the scroll she becomes light as a feather and it is as if you are dancing on clouds. Try it, you’ll like it. Simchas Torah is tomorrow evening. Find someplace to go dance with the Torah. You’ll be amazed.
