Exploring the mystery of the red heifer. To eliminate death we need to eliminate evil which is accomplished through cutting off its original power supply. The spiritual origins of the red heifer is connected to the last stage of divine transmission before it descends into the realms of evil to give them life. Through this amazing process that the Torah describes of burning the red heifer we assure that the flow of G-dly energy remains channeled toward holiness. Evil’s power supply is then permanently halted and the evil itself is fully eliminated.
