Torah is a Lesson from Hashem - Rabbi Yitchak Botton

And by learning Torah, we connect with this high, clear level of understanding. It's like a lesson from Hashem. Hashem is talking to us, teaching us as we learn his Torah. That's why David Hamelech says that he treasures the Torah that comes from Hashem's mouth more than all the treasures of the world. Because when we sit and learn Torah, it's as if Hashem is speaking to us. You know, so this is a very unbelievable experience that we have to communicate and receive communication from Hashem. Now, beyond being the wisdom of Hashem, it's also the divine will is expressed through the commandments of the Torah. So, in addition to just having a lesson from Hashem, we actually become partners with Hashem when we fulfill the mitzvot. You know, each mitzvah corresponds to a limb or sinew of the body. The 248 positive mitzvot correspond to the 248 limbs of the body. Of course, this corresponds to the 248 spiritual limbs of the soul. So, by fulfilling the Torah, we actually are building ourselves up, repairing ourselves, and building ourselves up to the way we were originally, and the way we were meant to be in the future, that to reach that new stage of perfection. That is really the the the power and essence of Torah. It is the vehicle through which mankind will perfect himself and the world, bringing us back to the way things were meant to be.
