The Ancient Secret to Immortality - Rabbi Eitiel Goldwicht

We're starting from voracious. It's a new beginning. We're reooking at the Torah every single year with new eyes. We're reading the same but [clears throat] there is a new tune that speaks to us in every single generation. We just finished in Torah where we were dancing with the Torah. We read that's where we were reminded that the Torah is called aos. [cough] It's a song. The Torah is a song. I remember when one of my kids came up to me and they played to me, "Aba, you have to hear this new song. It's so special. It's so moving. The melody and the this, it's so exciting." I listened to the song. I was like, "You guys call this good music?" And I realized that every 10 years or so there's a new genre of music. So some of us might be listening and there we're still stuck in the 70s music in the '8s music in the '9s in the early 2000. It doesn't matter what era we're in. We love the music from our era. And that sort of like puts us in a certain age gap. Whereas the younger generation is listening to new music and you're like what is this? Right? When rock and roll came out, everyone was like, "What are you? What's going on?" But every generation connects to different music. And the Torah is actually called a Shira because the lyrics are the same. But every generation, we're supposed to listen to the new tune. There's a new tune that is played every single year, every generation. And we're supposed to tap into that tune. It's talking to me in this era. It's talking to the new generation in their tune, what they're supposed to hear. And that's why whenever we start in various, it's trying to tap in what is the Torah teaching me today? How is it relevant to me today? Even though I read the story so many times, how could I relate to it? And every single year, we try to delve in a little bit deeper. Today, I want to talk about a topic [cough and clears throat] which in a certain way bothers all of humanity. and we're in a quest for it constantly. It interests every single one of us in a certain way. Even though we're very rational people and we understand that life is very very serious and in a certain way it is limited, but we're all interested in understanding the secret of immortality, the secret of youth, the secret of living forever. How do we actually do that? Is there a way to do that? Humanity is fascinated by this. That's why there's so many books and TV shows and movies about someone who is immortal or it's it's the quest for the uh right Indiana Jones is looking for for the Holy Grail and the the fountain of youth, right? It's it's something that is in a certain imagination. the the world is looking for it. How do we beat death? How are we able to live forever and if you think about it this is connected already to paras because there is something in humanity that is looking for that because that is the ideal form in which Adamarish was created. Adamarish was created immortal. He wort immortal. This is what happens when you're He was created with a lot of morality but with no mortality. He was supposed to live forever and in a certain way we all want to be that we want to be able to live forever. >> Is there a way or now we're scared of it? What are you talking about live forever? what I'm going through I right there's but we have to understand how do we how are we able to tap into that is there a way to tap into that being able to live forever I think that is something that is bothering humanity definitely something that is on our minds is there a way to do it so I want to look through the story of various that we know ask a few questions and to try to see if we could tap into it so number one we have the six days of creation the six days of creation is the beginning of the creation of the world. Just to give us an overview of the six days of creation, the medish tells us that each day had a benzug had a partner. The days were not alone. Can't go through life alone. You need to have a partner. So according to the medish, the benzug was uh yum rishon and yum sheni. First and second they were partner. Yumishi and ravi kamishi and shishi. The gr explains that the benzug is yum rishon was benzug with yum ravi yum sheni was benzug with yum kamishi yumishi the third day was benz with yum shishi and then shabis the way the measure says it shabas comes to and says I don't have a partner who is the partner is the partner of shabas what does that mean what does that mean that each day had a benzuk so according to the gr what it means is that the first days the day of yumish which is let there be light that is in the in the potential the partner of that is yum the fourth day which is the sun and the moon where it actually comes into physical reality in this world the second day is let's separate between the heavenly skies the heavenly waters and the lower waters so that's the potential of life in the sky and life in the water and the partner is the fifth day. What was created on the yum kamishi? >> It was the fish and the birds. It's the actual life forms that live in those two realities. And then the third day is earth and vegetation that was created. And what is the partner? The sixth day. The sixth day is the potential of bringing out the all the potential that was in the third day comes into actuality on the sixth day which what is created on the sixth day life on earth which is the animals and mankind at at its peak at the ultimate as the last creation and then comes Shabas and Shabas says I don't have a benzug who is the benzug of shabas amro which means that shabas has something in it which has a beaka has a certain k a certain energy a certain potential and we need to be the life force of that where we actualize it into this world we have to know what that means what is the of chabis that we could actualize into this world that's the beginning that's the first chapter and then comes the second chapter the second chapter is that creates and he puts to and who says you should not eat from the uh from the tree of knowledge. You should not eat from the tree of knowledge. And Hashem sees that it's not good to be alone. So he he creates aerdo. And then comes the third chapter is already where Adam and Kava sin and they're eating from the eight and they realize what do they see [cough and clears throat] and Hashem uh hears them and he calls them out and he says, "Where are you?" And they say, "We're we're embarrassed." They [clears throat] start to hide from Hashem because they're embarrassed that they eat from the who told you he blames the isha. And then they get killed. They get uh they get kicked out. But what do how do they get kicked out? They get punished. And then I want to focus on the final. Hashem says now mankind knows the difference between good and evil. He might take from the tree of life and he will eat and he would live forever. There's something called an that gives us immortality after the sin. He might take and now he might extend his hand also from the tree of life and he will eat. That's what it says in the Torah. And he will have immortality. There's a way to have immortality. Give me sends him out of Ganed to go work the land that he was taken from there. He's going to be busy working the land because that's also part of the curse. He kicks him out of Gan and then he puts in front on the west side of on the east side of Ganen um the krim these angels says like these death angels it seems and a revolving sword says to protect us or to protect to make sure that no one comes to the then no one will get access to this tree of life where you get immortality. So the story ends where we messed up. There is still access to immortality, but Hashem puts these these angels with a revolving sword to make sure that we don't have way to the to make it to the tree of life. What is going on over here? So, there is a way to get there and Hashem put a sword and angels to stop us from it because we sin. Does that means that if we wouldn't have sinned, we would have been able to eat from it. And that's what it means that Adam would have lived forever. Why does the sin make us now not be able to live an immortal uh a life forever? What's going on over here? And do we have access to still get to this? How do we get there? Are we able to tap into it? That's our big question of the day. In order to understand this, I want to ask another question which is let's go back to the first day of creation on boracious. By the way, you could have a shir every single day for the rest of your life just on paras. And we still won't uncover a fraction of what safer holds in it of what paras holds in it. It holds in it everything. And there the first puzz holds in it everything. The first word holds in in everything. And it's something that the more you you dive into it and you delve into it, you realize, oh my goodness, we're just getting started. So for me also, this is new for me. We're just starting to get started and and to and to go a little bit deep. First day of creation. In the beginning, God creates heaven and earth. And the land was to as Rabbi W always says in the beginning there's always darkness. Darkness always seems like it overrides and it is ruling. In the beginning it was to it was alo and he said that is the story of the Jewish people as well. We experience a lot of darkness in the beginning. We go through darkness. We go through dark time periods. Sometimes in our life we feel that I'm dealing with to and with more than I'm dealing with light. But then out of the darkness and out of the difficulty also here init so many times it feels difficult it feels hard. [cough] But then Hashem says let there be light and there is light out of the darkness. Hashem says, "Let there be light." And there is light. Hashem sees that the light is good. Hashem divides and makes a separation between the light and the darkness. Hashem calls the day the light day and the night he the darkness he calls night. And it is eve and it is morning. Yum. Day one. That is the first like uh perk first para of the Torah question. >> You could ask some questions. It's good for me. Also >> why not? >> Oh, so Rashi says why say and not so says Rashi that it's to teach us that Hashem is one. It's not the first day. Hashem is not the first of many. Hashem is one. Hashem is everything. And then we're going to get to that nikuda that Hashem is the oneness of everything. What does that mean that Hashem is one? It means that we are just within the imagination of Hashem, this whole world. And we're going to get to that. What that mean? We're going to try to bring uh deeper concepts down a little bit deeper. So the ask the Ramban asks asks in all the other days of creation when it ever it says Hashem said let there be uh the sun and the moon let there be earth let there be the sky and the water. So it says and it was so. When it comes to the first day, it doesn't say and it was so. It just says or. Why does it repeat itself? Why does it say and there was light? Why doesn't it say and it was so exactly as Hashem said? That's question number one. Question number two is sees that the or is and then in the right in the beginning of the creation it says that Hashem sees that it's and not at the end of it by all the other creations after it is created it says Hashem sees that it was good after it was created at the end of every day. He says, but here it's in the middle of the day. It says there's something about the light that is created in a slightly different way. And as we started off saying that we know that the first day has a partner in the third in the fourth day. So I want to try to tap into this a little bit and see what we could unfold and how we could connect all this to immortality into living forever. Okay. So we're asking a few questions. Question number one, we all want to know the secret of how we could live forever. It is a quest of humanity. It is something that we want. We want to stay young and we want to enjoy life forever. It is not something that is foreign to us cuz Adam Marishon was destined to live forever. And therefore, we all crave it and we want it. The question is, can we have it? And when we look through the sukim, we saw that there is a pusk at the end of pergiml where there is a pathway to the tree of life where hashem says let's make sure that he doesn't get to the tree of life because then he would live forever and therefore I'm going to put these angels to make sure that you can't get access to this tree of life and therefore you cannot live forever. So what is that para? That's question number one. Question number two, when we look at the first day of creation, the creation of light, there seems to be that this day of creation is not even though every day of creation has its own unique uh things and we have to understand each day. But in the first day of creation, it's not written the same exact way it is written in the other days. It doesn't say and it was exactly as God said. rather it says and there is light. Why is it written in a different way? Why does it say kito earlier? And I would add on to that question is why is this the first day of creation? Cuz we're not talking about the sun and the moon. We know the sun and the moon is the potential of how it comes out. So we're talking about a certain light that doesn't come from a light form that was created yet. It's just a light that is created in this world without a physical source of energy. All the other things we're already talking about something that is a physical source. Second water, physical water. Everything is seems to be much more physical. Day one is not even a physical creation, but yet it's a creation of something. It's a creation of light and it's going to come to the sun and the moon. H how do we understand how how those two things work together? What exactly is this creation of light and does that help us understand our ability to live forever? So let's try to try to unravel it a little bit. So first of all the medish says says the medish inos this is rashi ready quotes it rashi quotes it in his own words in short is focusing on why hashem is separating the light from from darkness says even here we need the words of that it says rash in the first and he starts off with you know what this light is and why it was separated. Hashem sees that the light is not good for the evil people who are going to misuse it and therefore Hashem separated this light from all the other light and he put it at the end of days. So says the med alif there's many creations that created in this world but some of them were not to be to enjoy them removed them from the world. Which one is that? It is the light that is created on the first day. And yehudimon says the light that created on the first day it was a certain light that was able to see it and to see to the end of the world saw the first generations. There were darknesses in the beginning of the world. The first 2,000 years of creation were darkness. There was there was mayhem even though the world was a perfect world in in types of of physicality but it was generations of destruction generation of the flood generation of the tower of and they're all and therefore removed the light and who did he save the orag that's why we have this concept of the hidden light who saved There's something in this light that Hashem created on the first day which is supposed to give us the meaning of what life is all about. When I create something, the first thing that comes into mind is what is it that I'm trying to create? And this is really the question of Hashem teaches us and perhaps this is our third question before we settle into all of these answers is Hashem is creating the world and he puts Adam into this world but it doesn't say in the entire forces why did Hashem create this world? What are we here to do? What is the mission of this world? Why was it created? Why are we here? What's the purpose of of humanity and of creation? And that is the most fundamental question that bothers all of us. Why am I here? What am I supposed to be doing? So what is it? Because I have a mitzvah of re to to just make life go on. So why I have a mitzvah to to make sure to make sure that you're in control of the animals. Why? So I could live life. So I could eat the vegetation. For what reason? For what purpose? Why did create light? And this is really the beginning of understanding the or the light of the first day and also the angels that were put to stop us on the way for the tree of life. The oragan this light this infinite light is really the light in which revealed himself into this world. The way the Mubalam say is that aeshb's greatest desire is to create a world in which he is revealed because what that does is the ultimate good is to give good to other people. The ultimate good that you could do in your life is that you become such a person that you're looking out to give good to other people. And that's what makes you an ultimately the best type of person that is looking to give good. And since and since Hashem our creator is the ultimate good he created this whole world in order to give us to give us to give us light to give us positivity to give us everything. That's why he created the world. He wants us to give to get all of the good that he's creating. And how do we get the good? We need to recognize that we're getting the good from him. And to say, "Hashem, this is all coming back from you. You are the source of this light. You are the source of my life. You are the source of everything good that I have in my life. My children, my parnasa, my house, even my challenges. I need to understand that those are things that are good for me. You created all of this to give me good. And by understanding this, I am crowning as my king. Like we just said on rash that we say, Hashem, you are the melik on everything. We're giving everything back to this ultimate light that created is our ability to understand it, to see it, to feel it in all of creation. But it was so crystal clear that with it comes a very strong superpower. If you're so connected to that infinite light, you could create you your ability to create your ability to do things is much higher than what we have today, than what humanity has today. And if we're tapped into this source of light, we have an ability in a certain way to live forever. We have an ability to create things that are unbelievable. And it says in the medish that in the first moments before he sinned, he was able to see. It's hard for us to understand what that means because we view humanity as our own limited abilities. But he was able to see beyond, right? If you were trying to take the the biggest, right? Let's say you take the greatest minds that we could understand in our generation. Oh, Einstein. Wow. Unbelievable. He was able to understand the theory of relativity. You take the greatest, they were able to understand the Torah and the greatest Mikb. But you take it even further back, the greatest minds of humanity. You take Aristotle that the Rambam says he was able to reach the greatest understanding of the world that a person understands before he has full. He understood how the world understood. But then on top of that you take the rab himself who understood all of the of Aristotle but he had the when he had his they understood and that's just the rishim imagine you take it back to the to the you take it to the what they understood and the the tanima hill and shi unbelievable what the way they understood the world and that's just the tan you take it back all the way to to the Nim to David Hamelik to Mosher Rabain they had so much understanding of this world there was a certain tapping in to the light that was nothing compared to what Adamarish understood Marishan was in a totally different understanding and therefore he was tapped into the source of light of what said too much power too much electricity if I'm taking it into the physical sense. We're not talking about a physical light. A lot of electricity, right? The whole world today, the bottom line of the entire race of humanity is who could produce energy to power all of the chips that are supposed to be, you know, running the AI systems. It's all it all comes down to energy at the end, right? So that energy if it's too much of it, if someone comes and and touches it in an inappropriate way, he's going to be fried on the spot. Any electric electric power, if you touch it in an inappropriate way, you're going to be you're going to ruin it. You're going to misuse the power, right? Nuclear energy could give so much energy, but if it gets misused, it could destroy the entire world. Sakuru understands that this spiritual energy was so great that if it gets misused the entire world will be destroyed and therefore he hid this light. This is a symptoum after the initial timeshu first of all when he created the world needed to hide his light because he can't give all of it's a creation of light and therefore and this is how some of the explain let there be light it doesn't say and it was so because it cannot be the full light that said that it should be because then the world would not exist rather or there was a light but it can't be the full light that really wants to give to humanity because then we ourselves will not be able to live within it and therefore it says there was light and even that light was limited. That's why the light is so good. But it says right away because that initial light is good. But even that light needs to have another symptom because we might misuse it as humanity. We will Hashem sees that we will misuse it. And therefore he hid it for when for the days to come for our generation. He hid it for the end of generations. Why? Because and this is why it's the first creation because whenever you create something right in the beginning it's like what is your final destination? What is it that you're trying to create? You build a house on the first day you're thinking okay what do I want to create? Why do I want to buy this house? What do I want to create this business? Why is it that I'm looking? Hashem says I want my light to be for all of humanity. And that is why it's the first creation. And that's why because Hashem is showing us all the way at the end of day all of humanity will be able to experience this connection to this is the secret of but unfortunately because Hashem sees that we cannot experience it in the right way. Hashem needs to diminish it and we need to work for it. And just to give us an example where we see this in in like the GR says if the first day is the where does it actually come into the be into reality on the fourth day what happens on the fourth day Hashem creates the sun and >> and the moon and the stars and this is the famous medish that Rashi quotes in the beginning the sun and the moon were what size? They were the same size, right? On the fourth day, let there be illuminations and they will be the solar system where we know time from and that's when well time is already created vibrations. The two great illuminary lights It says the two great things and then it says the big one's for the day. The small one is for the night. What's going on over here? Says Rashi. Rashi quotes in the beginning they were created the same size. And then the moon says how could you have says go ahead and I'm going to be mism I'm going to make the moon smaller. What's going on over here? Were they the same size? What does that mean that the moon got smaller? How does how is that relevant to us? There's a certain mashall over here and we have to also see how the end of the gimar how the gimar concludes over there. There is really one source of light and that is the sun. It's the physical source of light. The moon is a full reflection of that light. Imagine they're like a clean mirror and sometimes you could take a picture and you don't know was this picture a picture of the mirror image or is this the real image, right? Because you you can't really tell the difference between the mirror and the and the actual light. Specifically, when it comes to light, if there's a full flashlight and you put a mirror on a mirror on it, it could light up a whole room just because you put mirrors. I remember when Rabbi Wine once described that he went to Yadvashm. He walked into the hall of the 6 million and he said he lost his bearings. He was walking on that bridge and he saw floating candles all over the place. But he realized that really there is one candle and the rest is fragments of mirrors across the entire room. And he said the ability to reflect the light makes you where is the source of the light that is what the moon is actually a full reflection of the light. But then the moon felt I am the source of the light. Hashem is really giving us light. But if humanity starts to feel I'm the source of the light. I made this money. I created this world. I run everything. I'm in control. I run the world. It's whatever we decide. It's all about cause and effect. There is no outside light that is shining light onto us. I'm the one who is in control. So then the humanity goes and says you can't have two kings over here. I can't have hashem if I am the mel. The nations of the world are saying we are the sun. We are the ones who give light to the world. That's why the nations of the world are compared to the sun because they think that they are the source of the light. But really, they're not able to actually bring anything new to the world. And is the true source of light into this world because we are the moon and we're saying that we are the reflection of Hashem's light. But if we think that we're the full reflection, we're the source of the light, we start getting confused. We're saying you can't have two kings that are the source of the light. And Hashem is saying you got confused. You're not the source of the light. You're the reflection of the light. So go and diminish yourself and realize that you are just a reflection of the infinite light. And that is your job. And am is considered the levana. We're supposed to reflect Hashem's light in this world. That is our job. That is our mission to be a reflection and to show Hashem is the source of all of the light. And when we're when we're a full reflection of the light, the Gimar concludes by the way what Hashem the the the Levana comes to Hashem says I just want it to be a reflection but I just said that like I want to be even a bigger reflection and what the way the explain is that the leavana am is saying we just want to be close to you. We don't want to be a reflection of your aura. We want to be totally close to you directly. So, Hashem asks it, "Oh, do you want this the more stars?" No, but that's not enough. That's not low spice. It It didn't feel like it had this is the kapara for and then Hashem said, "You know what? You get the leav your your gift the way I'm giving you is I'm giving you." What does that mean? Hashem is telling B is that you will be a source of light that direct connection to me. The sun is going to run the time of the world. But who's going to run the time of the Jewish calendar? It's going to be the it's going to be the Sanhedrin. It's going to be whoever is connected to Torah who is in the BA mikdash. They're going to be the ones who are going to decide is today or is tomorrow. You're going to be the one who decides the Jewish calendar. And I'm going to be doing it the way you do it. Just like the Mishna in Rashashana where Yum Kipper is decided based on the Sanhedrin. And with this I want to bring us to the angels and to what how do we actually type tap into that full source of light and live an immortal life where we live forever. So it says in the end of per giml that Hashem put these uh where else do we find the word kim in the Torah. Only one other time do we find the word in the Torah and that is Mishkan. If you look at the PK, it says Adam was kicked out of Hashem placed from the Vashkain and he placed them there. There's already a remed and what does he put there? The angels, the carobs. What is here? You have the krim that are protecting you from the tree of life. What are the krim in the mishka the source of theina doing? They're hovering over the aron. What is inside the aron? Inside the aron is the lus. Only one time do we find in the Torah that we find that reached the level of and that's when they stood by and they said and they heard I said that you are like gods the the words were etched Ed in the stones of the L. Don't say that they were etched. Say that you are means you're free from the mal. You reach the level of through the process of leaving of leaving the this terrible place. And therefore because you reach such a high level and you experienced this level, you're going to hear the which are parallel to the mamaros. The Tenma Maros were there to create the world and then Marishan was there with the light and now you're able to reach that level and to hear and to see the light and to hear to see the coloss to see the coloss that are in coming from Ghana and you get and that's where the lus were unfortunately we messed up we lost those first lus and therefore we lost our crowns our kesser that Hashem gave us and we needed to get the second loose the second chance said put those broken lus together with the second loose in the arum and on top of the arum put in you have the krim and now the krim here are not here to keep us away from the lucos they're here to preserve and to hover over the lucos and they're here to symbolize that deep relationship and connection between Amis is and Hashem and that's why they're hugging each other. They're face to face. They're like husband and wife. They're like children that are so pure. It's before the it's before we mess up. They represent something that is pure and in its deepest connection which is our desire which is what infinity looks like. We don't have maybe the ability to live an immortal life and an infinite life, but we have the ability to live a mortal life that is connected to infinity. to live a physical life that has a beginning and an end. But every single day of that mortal life could have a feeling of I am connected to the infinity. I am connected to the an I am holding in all of my consciousness the past, the present and the future. And yes, I am bringing children into this world because they will carry on that message of the eternal light that lives forever. I will work this land and I will be fruitful because I'm going to be carrying on this immortal energy that lives through the Jewish people. That is the light that we are able to tap into. And that's why there's only one other P where it says the word we have it here is there's only one other in the Torah that it says we say whenever we take out the safer Torah we call the oh this is the it is the tree of life the Torah is called the tree of life. The Torah is called or mitzvah or what is the difference between a nare and or between a candle and between light. It's it's brought down that this world is a world of darkness. We have hardships. We have challenges. We have things that we don't understand. We could do mitzvah. They light up our way. They illuminate our way. But we turn to the gdole Israel. We turn to the Sanhedrin who embody Torah. We turn to the people who their whole entire life is immersed in living the Torah, learning the Torah, thinking the way the Torah thinks because that is the gift that gave us to connect to him. Because the Torah is called light. If I have a dark room and I bring a candle into it, the darkness still exists. I just have light to show me the way. But if I turn on the lights, if the sun rises, there is no more darkness. You just see they see there is just a whole different way of seeing reality. And when you're able to see reality every single day and live reality with such a light, you're tapping into an immortal life. You're tapping into infinity. You're able to see the way runs his world. You're able to see why things happen and where are things going. And that's why we go to Raban and we go to people who embody Torah and we say, "Give me a bra or or guide me the way." you're able to see things in a different way that I may not be able to see and because of that we turn to them and they're the ones as us and he gives us the ability to connect to his Torah and to understand his words and he gives us he gives us to create what is the Jewish calendar going to look like we are going to be the reflection the moon of his light into this world and that's why we have the power to bead that is the kap of the that was misusing the light of the gener earlier generations that we're going to use the light in the right way and therefore hashem says go and diminish yourself because you're just a reflection of the light you're not the source of light itself but the our tak is that is considered to be the moon and we have and that is that we're able to create new time through our connection to the Torah And that is what the kim represent. That is what the represents. That's what the through the the road of life. We have that ability to tap into that road of life. And therefore the med says like this where did hide this infinite light? This is a safer here. One of the great cabalistics for him says, "The hidden light is hidden in the shab and says or that the people who go in the darkness and they work hard at at toiling over the Torah, they get to walk through life seeing a big light and that big light is the light of the oragan that is hidden away. hid it away for theim throughout all of the generations means throughout all the generations. If we're able to be connected to Torah or connected to who are connected to Torah, we start seeing this world in a different way. Cuz as the Ram says in Shar, there's two terrible tragedies of darkness. One is that you could fall and stumble. you just don't know where things are. Number two is that you start thinking that one thing is something else. You think that a pole is a person and that a person is a pole cuz you're in the dark. You get you don't have a full picture says the in I think it's perglim that that is what life is like when you're not connected to light. Either some people make mistakes, they just do terrible things, they ruin their marriages, they live a meaningless life, they feel like they're empty, or and he said it's a bigger tragedy where they start fighting for certain things thinking that that is a person, but really it's just a pole and then they're fighting against people cuz they think it's just a pole, but it's really people. He said they make a mistake. They think that what they're doing is a mitzvah, but really it's an they think that what they're fighting for is, "Oh, I'm I'm trying to do this and and they stay away from a even though that would have been a mitzvah." Everyone knows these different types of people and these different types of examples and different scenarios and we need to we need to be connected to the ord and that's why we have rabim and that's why we have aul and that's why we have shim so that we're able to be connected not to a person but to the Torah that the person embodies and everyone can find their in different uh but find someone who is a person who embodies Torah a person who lives a life of Torah and number two you become yourself another a little bit higher of a level of being connected to Torah whether it means now paras starting I'm going to read theim every single week I'm going to learn I'm going to learn it with rashi or I'm just going to read the inside I'm just going to do the first aliyah but I'm going to do it I'm going to be committed to learning a little bit every single day you become a little bit more connected to the Those are our two ways of living an immortal life. Living connected to infinity is number one we take upon ourselves to learn a little bit more. We start seeing the world in a different way. We have a different energy source of amuna of kak of seeing life in a more positive way being able to deal with hardships being able to deal with challenges of our children of paras of whatever it might be because we're learning it more. And number two, because we're connected to people who are learning it more. And that's how we actually live a life that has much more meaning and a sense of fulfillment. And every single day is filled with more light. And that's really what our job is to be. Our job is to be an or to be a reflective light back onto other people. And I'll end with this. I heard from from a a RV here in the neighborhood and he and he asked he said the sun is the source of the light and in earth we have light but what happens in outer space? How come outer space is dark? How come outer space is dark? If the sun is the source of the light and we have light over here and the sun is always there and the earth is always going around at least the side that is facing the sun is always lit up. How come outer space is dark? How does it work? So we have a reality like that in this world if you have a laser. So a laser you don't see the beam but when it hits a certain surface you see it but that's a very focused light. It's not like a flashlight where you turn on, you know, and illuminates a and and the sun is like the source of the light because even the source of the light, it needs to have a cle a vessel in which to receive the light. It needs to have only once it enters the hemisphere and the hemisphere of earth is the perfect hemisphere that there's the perfect amount of light that it's warm but it's not too warm. It doesn't burn the world and it gives it the right light at the right time with the right angle. Everything is perfect. All created in the first six days of creation specifically for earth through the sun and all of the orbits. It is the the planet of humanity and of life because Hashem created a to absorb the light and the first commandment of is really to us. Hashem said let there be light. Hashem is the source of light. But what does that mean? Let there be light. You need to become a light. You need to become a k a vessel that is able to absorb this light and to be that light to other people. Only if you are a vessel thinking I want to absorb Hashem's life with humility with understanding with the wanting to learn the Torah and turn to Rabanim. So then I become a vessel of the light and then I could be mayor upon him. I could illuminate somebody else's day. I could light up their their day. I could light my face shines towards other people because I am a vessel for the light. Now I could give that light over to other people. That is what life is all about. This is the secret that is in safer. Live a life of light which is a reflection of aeshb's light. And it is that depth of connection like the crew that are hugging one another. They're protecting the Torah which is that light which is our ability to live a life of meaning and purpose. And when we live that life, we're living an infinite life. We're living a life that is with immortality, that is living forever. And may we be z to actually live that type of life in our own way.
