We need tradition. Tradition preserves life. But it does not give life.

We need goals. Goals inspire life. But they are not life.

Life is here and now. To be alive, your here and now must touch the essence of your soul. To be alive, every moment must be a new life.

And so, our sages said, "Every day the Torah must be new to you."

For if it is not new, then it is not your life. And if it is not your life, then what is?
