Belief

Thanks for sharing the information - a chance to see a true believer in G-d.
I especially noted the statement that "angels were human" - in the past I wondered why authors of truth would speak so freely about "angels". Now, I just want to process it as someone wanting to be as G-dly as possible which in frightening environments is a safety factor & a lot like an "angel"
I noted "unclean" being conveyed as similar to exposure to any "harm facors-toxins" And had previously wondered if it was an internal thought or external. I suppose it can be both??
Also noted the 613 laws, condensed to 10, to 2, and even 1. So it is 10, condensed to respect for G-d(ly values) and love for mankind?, condensed to "love"?
That there are 2 dimensions to Torah - external and its essence, being that one can just see printed text, or one can believe what is written & enter into a personality change internally forever - being "essence"-transformation
that the Torah involves:logic, morality, spirituality.
