[Avodah] "The Angel Which Redeemed Me From All Evil"

[Cantor Wolberg]

  R' Micha wrote:
Therefore one must cleanse one's heart every day before study and
  after it of impure attitudes and middos with a fear of sin and good  
deeds.

Wouldn't that be achieved by the brocho rishona and the brocho achrona?


R' Micha also wrote:
As I see it, a role of the keruvim on the aron is to protect those who
lack the middos from using the Torah to water their weeds.

Frankly, IMHO, if the Torah and Aron cannot protect those who lack
the middos, then I think it's somewhat naive to think that the keruvim
will do any better.

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a  
father's protection.
(And the Father is symbolically the Almighty -- not keruvim).
