Engraved on Two Tablets of Stone 

•We have previously mentioned that Chukim, the name of this week’s sedra, means laws with apparent reason and are a test of faith.

•But literally it means the process of engraving e.g. onto a stone or marble.

•Engraving is a much more permanent record than writing which can fade. But engravings can also be dirtied and the grooves filled with dust and dirt and become illegible and hidden. 

•History has shown that our Jewish souls are engraved within us.  Generations may pass where the engraved symbols are hidden and covered with dirt, but as soon as these are cleaned off, the soul sparkles as when first born into the world
