Torah is the interface between the Infinite and creation. On the outside, it speaks the language of humankind. On the inside, it is depth without end.
Grasp either end and you have nothing. Grasp both and you have G‑d Himself.

Throughout the year, we bless each new month in the synagogue on the previous Shabbat, except for on the Shabbat before Rosh Hashanah (which is also the 1st of Tishrei). For the month of Tishrei is blessed by G-d Himself, and with this power, the people of Israel bless the other months eleven times a year.
