A Tree of Life

In this week’s parsha (1^st of 2), we confront the reality of life , which is death, as noted

by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum in his weekly Dvar Torah (http://www.azamra.org).
The Torah deals with death by instituting the law (chok) of the Para Aduma. The ashes of the female burnt cow (at least 2 years old-see Mishnah Parah) are sprinkled on the impure person who was in contact with a dead body and these ashes purify this person. The people who handle the red cow become impure. It sounds like a spin. Even King Solomon did not understand the meaning of this law. With the aid of the codes,

we do find an interesting allusion regarding death. The Torah says, vzvu :rcec ut ,nc ,

“or the one that died or the grave and (the pure person) shall sprinkle” (Numbers 19:18-19). The encoded last letters spells the term vru,, Torah. What are the implications? Why is the word Torah , which stands for life as noted by King Solomon who said it was an
ohhj .g , eitz chayim, a living tree (Proverbs 3:18) encoded in death and at the grave? With the aid of Gematria, we find additional insight. The Gematria of this term is 777.
(a winner for the casinos and gamblers). Another phrase with the same Gematria is
ohnav gherc , b’rikeah hashamayim , in the firmament of heaven. This means that when we are looking down at the dead person or at the grave, we really should be looking up into the blue sky of heaven.

This is line with my previous discourse when we discovered with the aid of the atbash code that the pure red cow is really ,kf, , techeiles, blue. Our focus should not be on earth that represents death, but on heaven that is forever.

Another phrase with the same number is isg idk osen ofahu, “and He stationed at the east of the Garden of Eden (Cherubim)” (Genesis 3:24). This means that there are angels protecting the Garden of  Eden (physical and spiritual). The encoded first letters (rearranged) spells the word okug, olam, world, universe, eternity. This teaches us that the Garden of Eden is for eternity. The term noted by King Solomon is first mentioned in Genesis, where it says, ohhjv .gu, and the tree of life (Genesis 2:9) which was situated in the Garden of Eden. This teaches us that our attachment to the Torah gives us life in this temporary world as well as the permanent world of  tcv okug , olam habah (the next world) .   

We need this red cow procedure so that we can purify ourselves to enter paradise as the letter tv hei is encoded on the word vzvu, vehiza, meaning to sprinkle. Without it we are impure and cannot benefit from the spiritual forces of the ashes. May it be the Will of the One Above to restore the Temple Service so that we can serve God in purity of heart and soul and learn Torah from irvt who in reverse is the tv rb , Light of the 5 Books of Moses.
