[Avodah] A Thought to LIFT Us Up (as long as we do the right thing)

[cantorwolberg at cox.net]

The Rabbis make a play on the words "V'zot haTorah asher SAHM (shin, mem) Moshe:
This is the Torah which Moses set."   Sahm with a shin can mean "to set", but sahm with a samech
can mean "poison."  Hence, if our Torah is not kept in the right way, then it becomes "poison."

When you lift up your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I do not listen. Your hands are full of blood!
Isaiah 1:15
