          <text>1 &quot;The voice of God&quot; refers to the sounds we make during Torah study. These sounds have the power to &quot;break cedar trees,&quot; corresponding to our strong materialistic desires, as well as &quot;the cedar trees of Lebanon,&quot; corresponding to the self-pride we may feel during Torah study. When we shatter these negative traits, God arouses within us a feeling of great love and rejoicing beyond reason—&quot;to dance like a calf.&quot;</text>

          <text>2 God&apos;s justice is called אֱמֶת. The word אֱמֶת comprises the first, middle, and last letter of the Alef Bet. Whenever God makes a judgment, there are angels on the right (corresponding to letters Alef to Mem) stating their view, and angels on the left (corresponding to letters Mem to Saf) stating theirs. Both sides debate the issue and reach a consensus (corresponding to the letter Mem) before a final true judgment (אֱמֶת) is handed down.</text>
