I’m sorry for your loss. Please know that they are ok. Like the rabbi said, here is better because here we can do and grow. However, when is time to go we will most likely reincarnate and with a higher consciousness. Death is also a rebirth. They will have the opportunity to continue their soul journey. We whom are left behind hurt, because we miss them, we need them, we want them in our lives. The disconnect leaves behind a painful void. But we can learn to live again with time and faith. The first step is to know the fact that they are ok, at peace and comfy.

[@mestawetendaylalu2977]

Thank you, Rabbi Fried man. Humanity begins at home from good family life, the collective of good family build up good community, good community creates a better society, this idea go through from generations. The best humanity book is the Old Testament, God choice children of Israel as a sample, they are the best example to teach the world after they faced all suffering and plight of this world, we can see how they are successful and stronger community. Every good humanity lessen we can get from their history. When we get a good interpreter or instructor of Old Testament, we need to take advantage for living meaningful life. Unfortunately, some people are against Jew's life and that makes the world difficult place to live for everyone of us.

[@DoreenBellDotan]

B"H We are supposed to "die", that is to say enter Eternity, which is entering the Highest Yeshiva, while we are *still in our Bodies*. It's not about dying, leaving the Body and coming back. It's about learning the correct interpretations of Torah while in our Body and our Body becoming eternal because it enabled us to learn Torah on Earth. There is no leaving the Body upon "death" for those who learn Torah correctly because those interpretations are eternally true and holy and so the Body that facilitated that learning likewise becomes Immortal, Eternal and Holy. Earth is the highest Heaven. If Eretz isn't enough for someone, nowhere else will be.

[@haystackneedle]

Actually, there is no life after death. Life is a concept that distinguishes between 'what is' and 'what is not'. For what is material and what is not material. My first memory of what belongs to this body goes back to moments before I was incarnated. I am, constantly. With or without a body, or with another body. If I die I'll still be there, but you'll be gone. Life and death is a wonderful apparent reality.

[@scottwarthin1528]

14:55 I'm not doubting what the Rabbi says that there are "non-Jews" who believe that a person's soul becomes angelic but, FYI for neighbors of Catholics, that's not what mainstream christians believe. Angels and the dead who are yet to rise, as taught in Sunday school, are completely different from one another having completely different spiritual natures.

[@DoreenBellDotan]

B"H All of those who circumcised themselves help us when we learn Torah and direct us how to do the Brit. That is why sometimes the words of the Prophets cut us like a knife when necessary. But, ultimately, it is we who have to allow Torah to enter our flesh and transform us. It is we who have to cut away the misunderstandings that exist in the very nervous systems of our Bodies. Those who willingly submit to this process are rewarded with a Body that enters Eternity with their consciousness. That is the Yechidah.

[@DoreenBellDotan]

We must understand the Hebrew word אחרי properly. It is *not* the secular words meaning "after".

[@DoreenBellDotan]

ב"ה אחרי = 219 = טהרה = החי בצדק אחרי מות = 665 = הימים = האמת חיה בצדק = חי לעד בישראל

[@DoreenBellDotan]

B"H Those who get to the pure Truth of Torah have touched Eternity in their Bodies and with their Bodies. They do not die the same death as others do. The Body only decomposes upon death if it is not wholly made of the composition of Torah. All incorrect interpretations of Torah are temporary understandings that cannot enter Eternity. So, they fall apart at some point. The Body that houses true Torah interpretation never decomposes because it is wholly composed of Eternal Truth. Understand this and live.

B"H The gradual transformation of the flesh from mortal to Immortal as a result of learning Torah correctly is the true Brit. I warn you, it is long, slow and painful process. The Rabbis wanted to avoid the pain of the real Brit and so do a "quicky" ceremony. That's not the Brit. The real Brit hurts to do and we, like Avraham, but do the Brit on ourselves - the transformation of all of our flesh to Immortal. But it's worth it. Hurts like Hell. But it's worth it.
