obsession with death ultimately devalues life
obsession with death ultimately devalues life. How do you defeat death? It is what moshe rabbeinu says in parshas netzavim you are part of a covenant God and with the eternity. It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant and oath, but with whoever stands with us here today for the Lord as well as those not with us here today. what Moses meant when he said that with us today is that our ancestors who are not here becoming immortal in us as we become a immortal in our children who are not yet born. Rumbum says that even if your ancestors you safer thorough still our commanded to write one for yourself Rabbi sex says than what Moses is saying is that his last charge to the people he looked for 40 years and it's not sufficient to say that our ancestors received that they're up for Moses or from God but that has to take it and make it new regenerational. You must make the Torah not just your parents or grandparents faith but your own.

In the book
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. And the covenant we stand inside was never made with us as solitary travelers; it binds us to those who flew before and those who will fly after — to eternity itself. That is why our last words to one another carry such indelible weight, and why I am choosing mine to you with care. — The Landing (Death)
