Description

p 162. Learning the Order of Taharos (Purities) is like entering a completely different world. Tahara means dveykus, total attachment to Hashem. Going into the mikveh is returning to the state of being in the womb. Daas means knowing what to be close to and what to stay away from. Everything is contained in the Torah. Hashem trusted Moshe in a six levels of reality. Without yiras shamayim (fear of Heaven), all of our wisdom means very little. Hashem gives great spiritual levels to Jews with yiras shamayim. Emunah peshuta (simple faith) is like fertile soil. Yira (fear) is what sustains us in the storms and keeps us connected to our source.
