What we term death, the separation of the soul…
What we term death, the separation of the soul from the body, is the return of the body and the soul each to its own respective source.
— from The Landing (Death) · Gesher HaChaim, The Bridge of Life written by Rabbi Tuchazinski
In the book
Hold on to what our own tradition teaches about the landing, because it changes everything about the descent. What we call death — the parting of the soul from the body — is not an ending but a return, each part going home to its own source. The human being is a soul confined for a little while inside a body it must soon leave behind, groping in the dark toward a light too great for our own small intelligence to find alone. — The Landing (Death)
