What if we treated the Torah as we treat our cell phone? 

I recently received this email...

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated the Torah as we treat our cell phone? 
 
--What if we carried It around in our purse or pocket every day?

--What if we looked through It many times each day?

--What if we turned back to go get It if we forgot It?

--What if we always checked It for messages?

--What if we treated It as if we couldn't manage a day without It?

--What if we gave It to our children as a special gift?

--What if we always took It, and used It, when we traveled?

--What if we always thought to use It in case of an emergency?

--Oh, and one more thing...
Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about Torah being disconnected, because Its "Carrier" never fails.

Shalom and Regards,
RRW

Unfortunately there's a simple problem with your analogy:

- what if, every couple of years, we traded it in for a new, shinier model that has more features?

And that's the beauty of Torah - it never gets out-dated or old-fashioned. It's always pertinent and flexible (within confies of halacha) for each generation.
