"Down here, it’s a secret, but up there, it’s the key that will unlock the gates of Eternity”
"Today’s technological devices all require passwords to gain entry. Only the owner of the device knows the password — it’s his secret, it’s his key. So too, in Shamayim, we all have a password. We all have our special mitzvos, our acts of mesirus nefesh that no one else knows about. Down here, it’s a secret, but up there, it’s the key that will unlock the gates of Eternity.”
—Rav Elimelech Biederman, speaking last week at a Shabbos Hisachdus in Meron
