My Piece of Eternity
Talmud Tisch: Intermediate Talmud
Tractate Sanhedrin: The Talmud on the World to Come
Lesson One
"My Piece of Eternity" This inaugural class on the final chapter of tractate Sanhedrin covers the opening Mishnah, which speaks of “who will, and who won't, receive a portion of the proverbial World-to-Come.” Amongst the fascinating topics covered in this Talmud series are Torah definitions for Heaven, Hell and the Resurrection; the Uniqueness of the Jewish Soul; the definition of Heresy; and when Evil is Irretrievable.
(Daf/Pg. 90a)
Be amazed by this inspiring glimpse of the future as we lift the curtain and open windows into the “Era of Eternity” that will soon be ushered in by Moshiach!
The Gemara begins its analysis of the Mishnah by attempting to understand why lack of faith in the resurrection is so egregiously sinful—as to rob a soul of its eternity! As evidenced by a fascinating biblical narrative, Divine retribution seems to follow a pattern of poetic spiritual symmetry. A colourful collection of commentary adds multiple tiers of profound new depth and meaning. In the end, disbelief in the intrinsic power of Neshamot Yisrael (the souls of Israel) and their ultimate destiny is ostensibly as damning as disbelief in the Creator Himself!
