Description: The Alter Rebbe will now explain that this sublime level of Torah in which G-d alone delights descends to nurture the souls of the Jewish people. For this reason, the Midrash calls the Torah uman (lit., โa craftsmanโ), one who skillfully nurtures a young child. A term such as โsongsโ relates to the merely external aspect of the Torah that relates to the world and animates it. The purpose of carrying the Ark on the shoulders was thus to connect the external aspect of man with the inwardness of the Torah.
