=== Kabbalah of action === {{quote|R. Menachem son of Yossi expounded the verse: For a Commandment is a "candle", but the Torah is "light"<ref>"For a commandment is a candle, and the Torah is light... - נֵ֣ר מִ֖צְוָה וְת֣וֹרָה א֑וֹר" (''[[Book of Proverbs]] 6:23'')</ref>... for this is your life and ''Torah study'' is equated with all the Mitzvot<ref>God has attributes, so He has Essence and the modality to give expressions to the effect because He is "The First Cause": there are causes that determine all effects and God is the Master of all; the study of Torah can be "[[Pardes (Jewish exegesis)|Pardes]]" only by truth of this vision because cause and effect became the general and the particular of exegesis of [[Talmud]], that is "form and matter" or "[[archetype]] and [[shape|form]]": {{quote| Since the truth is witness to itself, and is in agreement from all sides, it appears that the author of the [[Sefer Yetzirah]] (Book of Creation) would agree with this. He said, "as a flame is connected to a live coal." This attests to an unbreakable unity. This is the truth about His essence, for as the essence of a substance cannot be conceived apart from its existence, nor its existence apart from its essence, so, too, the existence of an attribute cannot be conceived apart from that which it describes, nor that which it describes apart from the attribute. This includes the absolute good which contains all the species of perfections. This is what we wished to establish|[[Hasdai Crescas]]}}God is "the simplest" because He is One, but He has power, knowledge, will and eternity and perfect in all attributes, God is perfect for [[good]] to have Mercy and Justice... Hasdai Crescas concludes by stating that the superiority of the knowledge of truth consists in that of God but his essence is not knowable except by himself.</ref>}} The Mitzvot is like a body because of their performances and these are done by "action" as the material elements with holy [[Kavanah]] to bring supernal life to all the world... (i.e. to give [[good]] and "Rachamim/Clement attributes" by [[Tikkun (book)|Tikkun]]) But ''Torah study'' is always protection by God and this is a cause of the Brit of [[Matan Torah]], as written : ''≪Torah is in your heart... this is in your "words"!≫'' {{quote|As per Chazal: Until the Torah was given to Israel, it says that "and Moshe ascended to God," but after the Torah was given, God says: "and they shall make Me a Sanctuary and I will dwell in them." These words will suffice for a thinking person. And through them he will see and understand his path in holiness, 'and righteousness will grasp its way' to preserve his study of the Holy Torah all the days of his life 'to despise bad and choose good' for himself and for all the creations and all the worlds to provide pleasure for his Maker and Creator. May it be God's Will 'that He open up our hearts with His Torah and that He should place Love and Fear of Him in our hearts' and thereby complete His intention in creating His Universe 'that the Universe will be rectified with His Sovereignty'|Chaim of Volozhin}} The Torah is the Tree of Life to find true spiritual life, that is the Holy Spirit with the three Supernal Sefirot with Da'at and the others. The study of Torah can give life and this can build a Temple in the inner dimension of person: God will not take the holy sacrifices but words of Torah and of prayers because in [[Messianic era]] the sins will be not and the little sins will be atoned through true force of soul in the heart ([[Soul#Judaism|Neshama]] and [[Ruach]] with [[Nephesh]]) and words of truth on pure and holy mouth.
