When one dies, one does not take with him silver, gold, or jewels, but only Torah and good deeds. (Baal HaSulam, “The Freedom”).

Question: As a rule, it is unpleasant for a person to think about the day of his death. But this point gives the importance of choosing an environment and contributing to the group. How can you keep in focus the point that at the hour of death, nothing will help you but only the Torah and good deeds?

Answer: By death we do not mean the hour of death, but a new birth. That is how we need to understand death itself. Therefore, naturally, the Torah and good deeds are what accompany you and are what you enter a new life with.
