Toras Chaim - Learning it, Living it, Loving it

by the radiance of your presence hashem you gave us a torah a torah of life what does that mean a torah torah of life there are many layers to it one is that the torah informs our lives that the torah shapes it that it's not possible that in the morning i studied a page of the gemara and in the afternoon i live life as if i hadn't but rather that when i learn the torah that i study translates into a reality it translates into how i live my life distinctly the morals the values the way i carry myself is informed as a person who's very being is shaped by the torah literally a ben torah a child of the torah itself a torah that speaks to the relevant issues that we question that we face at every juncture in our life a torah which is vibrant meaning that the experience of it is one which is lively which is vital it's not somehow something which is old and stale but something which is which is again vibrant life-giving where there's a real sense generated that this is a source of excitement of meaning and of connection [Music] you
