Heaven

Tzvi Freeman

Hell

We don’t say a person “will be going to heaven.”
We say this person is “a child of the world to come.”

Heaven is not just somewhere you go.
It is something you carry with you.

To say of a person “he or she is a child of the world to come” is true and beautiful, however when serious illness prepares a person to leave this earth, then they are comforted by the thought that the soul will be “taken up to heaven”. Reply

Well I received the comment very quickly, but not the answer to my question.
There is another question.
What does Judith means when she says that you blew it when you said that she carries Heaven with her. But now there is no reason to be angry?
I hope that my comment did not bring anger to anyone. Because what I mean is that by the definition of a people who carry Heaven with them are the Remnant of G-d. And since what I understood from your last sentence that Heaven is not a place one goes but something we carry, the way I interpreted is, that there is no Heaven, but the "love" that one have is what matters. This statement contradicts my belief, because to me "Love" matters as well G-d have an Abode where He IS. Hope I make myself more clear. In Chabad, I find the most amazing teachers, and Rabbi Freeman is one of them. Blessings to all my dear Rabbies. Reply

Heaven Perhaps it is a State of Mind. We can stay in this state of mind, visit around and return at will. Have a happy solar new year and a sweet week. Reply

Rabbi Freeman,
I have a question. How would you interpret a message like this one: How do you know that there is LIFE amongst the Remnant?

Do you consider yourself and your people to be G-d's Remnant?

If you do. Then, where would you be going after you depart from this material world?

If you do not believe that you and your people are G-d's Remnant, then who do you believe it is or have been.

Thank you in advance for your kind answer to my query. I am not confused at all about Hashem's Magesty, and Power. But I am confused about men behavior towards Him. I also, do not want to appear disrespectful to you nor Chabad's ministry. Thank you for your daily dose of Heavenly Words and Wisdom. Reply
