The spiritual “garment” for our souls

We have been blessed by God, Who made it possible that we can have a new meeting place in Anderlecht. It is God who makes it possible for people to be inspired to serve Him with others and to create opportunities to get together. Thus, we are given the opportunity to fulfil the commandment of God to come together to gather.

Every time we observe a commandment, we create a spiritual “garment” for our souls. These garments, however, must be “laundered in wine” – our fulfilment of the commandments must be imbued with joy.

Those who have enjoyed laundering of sins through full immersion in water, may therefore participate in drinking the wine as a symbol of the fruit of life that God gives us and the blood that His son has given to deliver us.

Coming together to drink that wine and study the Bible, we open our hearts to God so that he grows every time we come together.

The Torah inspires us to love Jehovah, the Only One True God, and cleave to Him through observance of His commandments. It is for this reason that this aspect of the Torah is referred to as “the wine of Torah.” (1)
