Return, Adonai, You and Your glorious ark, to Your sanctuary. Robe Your priests in righteousness, and let Your faithful sing for joy. For David Your servant’s sake, do not turn aside from Your anointed. A precious inheritance have I given you: do not abandon My teaching. For those who grasp it, it is a tree of life, and blessed are all who cling to it. Pleasant are its ways; all its paths are peace. Turn us toward You, Adonai, and we shall return to You; make our days seem fresh, as once they were.

Commentary WHENEVER THE ARK WAS SET DOWN וּבְנֻחֹה יֹאמַר. Numbers 10:36. As the Torah completes its circuit through the synagogue, we recall Moses’ words when the people finished a stage in their journey through the wilderness and came to rest in a new camp. This verse and the ones that follow (Psalm 132:8–10 and Proverbs 4:2) can also serve to refer to our own inner journey: we are accompanied now by Torah. Only the first and last verse are recited in all rites; the others were added in many communities in the late Middle Ages.
Commentary IT IS A TREE OF LIFE FOR THOSE WHO GRASP IT עֵץ חַיִּים הִיא לַמַּחֲזִיקִים בָּהּ. Proverbs 3:18. The Torah handles are called atzei ḥayim, “trees of life,” and this verse is the source of the custom of holding on to them as we recite the b’rakhot over the Torah. Thus, by studying Torah and by physically holding on to it, we both figuratively and literally “grasp” the tree of life.
Commentary ITS WAYS ARE PLEASANT, AND ALL ITS PATHS ARE PEACE דְּרָכֶיהָ דַרְכֵי נֹעַם וְכָל־נְתִיבוֹתֶיהָ שָׁלוֹם. Proverbs 3:17. In their context, these two verses from Proverbs refer to wisdom, ḥokhmah. The ancient rabbis associated wisdom with Torah. As we put away the Torah, we pray that our study of Torah should provide us with the wisdom to promote a life characterized by pleasantness and the pursuit of peace.
Commentary TURN US TOWARD YOU, ADONAI הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ יְהֹוָה אֵלֶיךָ. Significantly, this final verse is taken from Lamentations (5:21), the book of mourning for the destruction of Jerusalem. We end the Torah service with a prayer for the reconciliation of God and Israel.
MarginNote Returning the Torah Returning the Torah to the ark may be a bittersweet moment. On the one hand, we may feel satisfaction that we have been instructed through the Torah service, that we have read its teaching and engaged with it; on the other hand, we may feel that we have not had enough, that a friend is leaving us, as if returning home after having spent just an hour with us. Perhaps that is why so many of the verses chosen for this moment are those of longing—longing for redemption, longing for a time gone by. Equally, there is the knowledge that the Torah is a scroll, that there are chapters now hidden that have yet to be unrolled. What we have glimpsed is only a partial view of the Teaching; more is yet to be revealed.
