    'Tumah is proportionate with value' that is why it is metameh the air space. If so by the pipe it certanly should be mekabel tumah because its value to transfer over taking for itself shoud be considered more valuable?

    When a child grows up and matures

    Every month you say goodbye to your old child and say hello to the new one. The old one gone forever. The new one built upon the foundation of  the  old.

    Ditto for myriads of  things in this world.  Accumulated technology, science and wisdom. Constructed  matter.  Wealth. The list could go on and on.

    We build upon the past. The current generation stands on the shoulders of  previous generations.  

    That's why yesterday's geula, yesterday's freedom and breakthroughs are today's golus, today's restrictions and today's stagnation.  

    Man is called a  "mihalech", a walking being compared to angels.  We must walk, walk forward, move on, break thru barriers even those barriers that  were yesterday's success. 

    Not for nothing is a prison (or debilitating illness) meant to confine movement.(kudos and Refuah Shelayma to Yitzy Erps). 

    3,000 misholim WITHIN Torah is  quite something but it's not all there is because the whole Torah is a moshel for what preceded Torah, yidden and creation. 

    The body is a conduit for passing along the  flow of Divine energy. And like our blood vessels, too much cholesterol  can restrict the flow and  weaken the  body.  Ruchnious Cholesterol is the bad stuff we shouldn't be putting into the pipe.
