el 07.06.11 Martes vispera de Shavuot fui a la Synagoga
el Rabino se refirio a la Torah como El Arbol de la Vida
al final del servicio le pregunte a una mujer cual era el motivo, ella explico que el libro de los Proverbios decia eso le pregunto a un hombre que estaba al lado si se acordaba en cual y el hombre dijo que ahi tenia una Biblia asi que lo buscaba, yo le decia que no se preocupe (el hombre estaba comiendo una porcion de torta y habia interrumpido para buscar el versiculo) el hombre encontro Prov 3:18 en menos de un minuto. Cuando termino la reunion le agradeci nuevamente y le pregunte como encontro tan rapido, resulto ser que hace poco el habia tenido que dar una charla no se sobre que tema y que habia usado el 3:18 como el punto central de su presentacion.

Prov 3:18

She (the Torah or Wisdom) is a tree of life to those who embrace her
and happy is every one that retains her.

Genesis 2:9

And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground
trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food.
In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
"The tree of life" which Adam was not to taste lies open to his children. Wisdom is the "tree of life," giving a true immortality. The symbol entered largely into the religious imagery. of Assyria, Egypt, and Persia. Philo, going a step further, found in the two trees the ideal representatives of speculative knowledge and moral wisdom; and the same image subserves a higher purpose in the promises and the visions of Revelation 2:7; Revelation 22:2.
Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

Genesis 2:9 And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground--trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
