אף דברי תורה אינן מקבלין טומאה
“Words of Torah do not contract uncleanliness”Words of Torah (true words of Torah) will always be pure. But the one speaking them may not be so. What are we to learn from this? Torah may be used by those with pure intention and those will ill intention. The intention of the speaker determines much – but not the inherent purity of the words being spoken – meaning – while someone may use Torah for an evil purpose, that same piece of Torah can still be used for good. Words have no inherent value – they are tools – neither clean nor unclean, but rather purified and profaned according to the intention of those using them.
May we all take words of Torah and turn them to pure intentions.
