Great is Torah, for it confers life on its practitioners in this world and in the World to Come, as it states: For they are life to those who find them and healing for all his flesh. And it states: It will be health to your navel and marrow to your bones. And it states: It is a tree of life to those who grasp it and its supporters are fortunate. And it states: For they are an adornment of grace for your head and a chain for your neck. And it states: It will set an adornment of grace upon your head, it will bestow a crown of splendor upon you. And it states: For through me your days will be increased, and they will increase years of life for you. And it states: Length of days is at its right; at its left, wealth and honor. And it states: For they add to you length of days and years of life and peace. And it states: Its ways are ways of pleasantness and all its pathways are peace.
