“And the Cherubim shall spread out their wings upward,
screening the Cover with their wings, with their faces
toward one another; toward the Cover shall be the
faces of the Cherubim.” (Ex. XXV:20).
The rabbis ascribe to the Cherubim the appearance of
children (Rashi on XXV:18) and their posture as given
in the text symbolizes the way in which our children
should be reared and trained.
Their wings must be spread out and upward — teaching
them their duties bein adam laMakom.
Their faces must be one to another — teaching them their
duties bein adam lachaveiro.
How do they learn these Jewish duties? “…toward the
Cover shall be the faces of the Cherubim" — in other words,
by looking into the Ark at its contents; in a word, by studying
and absorbing Torah.
