After his death, he is called \u201cstanding,\u201d since \u201cThe dead are free,\u201d etc. But Jacob is called \u201cwalking\u201d even after his death, since Israel\u2019s whole engagement in Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;in every generation succeeds for them because he bequeathed them the qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of the words, \u201cJacob did not die.\u201d From the side of&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, Jacob\u2019s bed is complete. The doubter did not understand, and thought that it meant that he actually died, and said to him, \u201cI demand the literal text.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two kinds of wise disciples: 1) those who sit and learn for themselves, 2) those who are rewarded and make the public worthy and teach Torah to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between them is that the second kind walk from degree to degree after their death, as well. This is why there is the custom to be appointed on the death anniversary, since on that day he is judged, and through his father\u2019s engagement in Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>, which he left after him in this world, or that he strengthens a wise disciple, there is an ascent to the soul of the parents. This is the meaning of the duty of the son to cleanse the father, and this is the meaning of his duty to honor him upon his death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is known that as long as one is alive, he is regarded as \u201cwalking,\u201d where through his engagement in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6246,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[26],"class_list":["post-14130","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | 771.
