What does it mean?


I was working with a student today on the Torah blessings today and asked her why she thought the Torah blessing uses both present tense (God gives us Torah) and the past tense (God gave us the Torah).  She gave an answer I hadn't heard before for why the present tense is included:

"Because he hasn't taken it away from us."

I learn so much from my students!
