There is no greater holiday than the holiday of receiving the Torah. After all, if not for the Torah, we would only lead an animal existence “for as long as the world turns.”

But we have the opportunity to use the upper force, and with its help to leap into a higher dimension, to continue our existence, to live in the spiritual dimension.

From this world, this reality we are experiencing now, we can smoothly transition into a new state, into another world, a dimension that has nothing to do with planet Earth and this universe.

We can reveal ourselves as existing in the form of eternal, perfect, complete harmony, without the limitations of the material world.

With the help of the upper force, a passage will open for us from our world, from this flawed life, to a perfect existence.

The means of transition from our dimension to a higher one is called “Torah,” a special force that gradually changes us to a new state; and to the extent of our change, we smoothly transition into it, until all our earthly, i.e., all our egoistic properties are replaced by spiritual, altruistic ones.

A person receives the opportunity to move on to an eternal and perfect existence. Therefore, getting this opportunity is the most important event in our lives, a true holiday!
