Ex. 25:15: The poles of the ark shall be in the rings; they shall not be removed from it.
The prohibition against the removal of the poles from the ark is one of the 613 Divine precepts. Although the table and the two altars also had rings and poles, there is no similar prohibition against removing their poles. Why so for the ark?*
This teaches us that the Torah is not a fixed, immovable text, but rather a practice we must constantly carry with us into our lives.
May we be inspired to bring the wisdom of Torah with us on every step of our journey.
