"It [the Torah] is a Tree of Life to those who cleave to it" (Proverbs 3:18)
"Delve and delve into it, for all is in it; see with it; grow old and worn in it; do not budge from it, for there is nothing better." (Pirkei Avot 5:21)

Jewish Nostalgia (1939): Poetic Eulogy written by my grandfather
As far away we'd be
A link will always bind us
And there's no power in this world
To break it or untie it.
It's the unseen link
Knitted from thoughts and longing
More powerful than
The silk or wool string.
