### Part 1 — Song Shows the Yoke of Torah

- Scene 3 · LM II:31 §1 · paragraph §1.1
  - HE: עַל־יְדֵי הַנְּגִינָה אָדָם נִכָּר אִם קִבֵּל עָלָיו עֹל תּוֹרָה.
  - EN (our paraphrase): Through song, a person is recognised: whether he has taken upon himself the yoke of Torah.
- Scene 4 · LM II:31 §1, on Bamidbar 7:9, Arachin 11a and Tehillim 81:3 · paragraph §1.2
  - HE: וְסִימָן: בַּכָּתֵף יִשָּׂאוּ, וְדָרְשׁוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה: אֵין יִשָּׂאוּ אֶלָּא לְשׁוֹן שִׁירָה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: שְׂאוּ זִמְרָה וּתְנוּ תֹף, וּמִקְרָא זֶה נֶאֱמַר בְּמַשָּׂא בְּנֵי קְהָת, שֶׁהָיוּ נוֹשְׂאִין בַּכָּתֵף אֶת הָאָרוֹן, הַיְנוּ בְּחִינַת עֹל תּוֹרָה:
  - EN (our paraphrase): The sign: 'on the shoulder they shall carry'. Our Sages expounded: yisa'u, they shall carry, is only a word of song, as it says, 'lift up a song and sound the drum'. And this verse is said about the burden of the sons of Kehas, who carried the Aron on the shoulder: that is the yoke of Torah.
