הגדרה (אנגלית)

Question: In this world, man must prepare himself for the call of eternal life in the world to come (just as sailors prepare a ship for the call of their departure for a sea voyage).

("This world is like the Sabbath evening, and the world to come is like the Sabbath. If a person prepares himself for the Sabbath evening, he will have something to eat on the Sabbath, and if he does not, he will have nothing to eat on the Sabbath. Another thing, this world is like the dry land, and the world to come is like the sea. If a person prepares himself for the dry land, he will have something to eat in the sea, and if he does not, he will have nothing to eat on the Sabbath. "He shall eat in the sea" - Small Tabernacles Tabernacle of Joys of the Battles of Her Life Chapter 2)
