When we are in our mother’s womb, we are taught the entire
Torah by a specific angel that is destined to us. This angel shows us Gan
Eden-‘Heaven’ and Gehinnom- ‘Hell.’ The angel tells us to become a
tzadik-righteous person- and not a rasha-wicked person. With all the knowledge
of the Torah, our neshama’s-souls- know with complete certainty that we will
indeed be righteous men; however, right before we are birthed, the angel
strikes us above the lip, causing us to forget all the Torah we spent nine
glorious months learning. How upsetting, all that time learning gone to waste!
However, the beauty behind this idea is that the information did not perish; it
is merely forgotten, lost in the
subconscious mind. Moreover, it is up to us to relearn all the material in the
Torah, in order for us to reawaken our subconscious minds to all the splendor
of Torah we have embedded deeply with in us.
