The Redeeming Torah

„The secrets of the Torah bring the redemption, they return Israel to its land, because the Torah of truth, by the might of its inner reasoning, demands in its expansion the complete soul of the nation.”From Shemonah Kevatzim IV, 19

There are ordinary, simple lives. Ones you wake up to in the morning, go to work or to study, return home toward noon or evening, tend to the children or a little to yourself, eat, go to sleep, and repeat. There are also ordinary, simple lives of Torah. Doing what is needed, and repeating. The Torah of Kabbalah gives us a different angle on life. The very sap of life. Innermost depth and an impulse to repair the world and advance it. To understand the engine and the heart of everything, and to be part of it. Out of this Torah, we manage truly to change. Only thus did a whole people manage to leave lives all over the world and return to its land!
