The Light Within Him
The inner light within. In question: the truth and beauty hidden within.
("It is written (Jeremiah 16) And they have forsaken me and have not kept my law - the Levites have forsaken me and kept my law, from the time they were engaged in it, the light in it was returning to the best, Rav Huna said of the Torah, despite its name, that from its nameless source it came to its name" - Ikha Rava (Vilna) Openings)
