Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Chapter 6
Mishnah One (continues)
From a teaching by Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, Ruach Chaim.
The world was created for the sake of the Torah and those that believe in it. As the Talmud explains HaShem created the world with a stipulation that the Jews had to accept the Torah. Otherwise the entire universe would revert to Tohu-Va-Vohu. Therefore the Zohar states that HaShem, the Torah and those that believe in it are One. The Midrash also expounds on this concept, HaShem calls the Jewish Nation, “My perfect Dove” (Song of Songs 5:2).
