I had the extraordinary experience at ASCENT of having my name revealed
to me in a matrix of the Torah Reading of my birth. This has convinced
me of the truth that everything comes from G-d in the deepest way. Not
only did He create me the way I am, He also chose to reveal it through
the efforts of your staff, particularly Rabbi Eli Kaye, and show that
with His love He wrote me in the Torah for all to see.
This experience of revealing my self through the codes of the Torah is
both amazing and frightening. When you take something on faith sometimes
you can put it aside and not pay attention to it. However, when you see
it written in the living Torah no longer can you put it aside. You now
know that you are who and why you are because of The Holy One, Blessed
Be He.
I am still shaking form this revelation. When the Jews stood at Mount
Sinai they told Moshe please you tell us because the direct communication
from Hashem was too much.
I have learned that if the light of the Ein Sof blessed be he, was not
filtered through the worlds above we could not stand it. By showing me
my personal part in the Torah it is as if you made a microscopic tear
in these filters and just for the smallest amount of time possible you
let his light, full strength, blaze down into my soul, and help him create
an even stronger connection with me. There is nothing in this world I
could ever do to thank you for this revelation.
I think that every Jew that comes to the Ascent should be able to experience
this.
