[I do NOT take the Mal'ach's part literally. it is merely a MODEL for how one KNOWS Torah - viz. by learning it with someone]
<br><br>So this neshama which has 100% of the awareness that a neshama can have is suddenly thrust into a body. At THAT point, the hybrid neshamah-body loses ALL conscious memory<br>of the Torah it used to have.<br><br>However, a residual legacy lurks in the Sub-Conscious. This makes Torah learning like restoring lost data on a file rather inputting new data. Not a real"'tabula resa" [sp?]
<br></div></div><br clear="all">As far as the different madreigoss of Torah they are irrelevant because even a Gentile ultimately has the bechira to become a Jew etc. <br><br><br><br>-- <br>Kol Tuv / Best Regards,<br><a href="mailto:RabbiRichWolpoe@Gmail.com">
