I'm a little short in the Bas Mitzvah drasha department.<BR/><BR/>Thinking about the Gemara in Brachos 10, it seems to me that the things that inspired David Hamelech were, using some license, the following. <BR/>1. The congruence of pure spirituality and the human form; <BR/>2. The perfection of the laws of nature; <BR/>3. The purity of a mother's love; <BR/>4. That evil plants the seeds of its own destruction; and <BR/>5. The time that our souls rejoin the flowing spring from which they came.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955681.post-67784455634928597862009-02-03T12:27:00.000-06:002009-02-03T12:27:00.000-06:00Thank you for the mekoros, I will check them out. ...Thank you for the mekoros, I will check them out.

Knowing that I will get honest reactions here, both positive and negative, is a great motivator for critical self-examination and, inevitably, rewriting. Fortunately or unfortunately, my wife almost always compliments my work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955681.post-37670312136144191192009-02-03T10:43:00.000-06:002009-02-03T10:43:00.000-06:00Thank you, for this wonderful dvar torah.

But you might be able to use the Gemara in Berachos 10a about the five experiences that inspired David Hamelech to say Shirah, and Pesachim 117a, about how, for David Hamelech, sometimes divine revelation inspired Shirah, and sometimes Shira inspired divine revelation. In that Gemara, Shirah refers to "simcha shel mitzvah," the joy that comes from our relationship with Hashem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955681.post-80939863975322030892009-02-03T08:19:00.000-06:002009-02-03T08:19:00.000-06:00I found your d'var torah extremely interesting!

Thank you for writing.<BR/>I also ask if you know a source which lists all of the instances of shira in Tanach as I am learning about this with my daughter for her Bas Mitzvah dvar torah (she was born on Shabbos Shira and thus has the middle name "Shira," so we are learning about the concept of shira.) <BR/><BR/>Thanks againUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05731283968406298778noreply@blogger.com
