EMULATING THE CHERUBIM

V'Hoyu HaKruvim Porsei Kinofayim L'Ma'alah Upneihem Ish Ell Ocheev "And the Cheruvim will be spreading their wings above , and their faces (will be turned) each man to his friend."

Every person should try to emulate the charachteristics that are represented by the posture of the cherubim. On the surface, we can derive two lessons.

The first lesson is directed at the relationship a person has with Hashem (G-d).

The cherubim's wings spread above their bodies. In a symbolic way, we also have wings. They represent our ability to soar to heigher spiritual levels. Thus, a person should strive to reach greater spiritual heights. The second lesson is directed at the relationship a person has with his fellow.

The Cheruvim faced each other . This represents the duty that everyone has to be concerned with his fellow. (Rav Yitzchok Elchonon Spektor - P'ninim Mishulchan Govoha)
