While relating to the death of Yakov, the Zohar reveals the secret of eternal life which is achieved not in the next world but the present world.
According to the Zohar, each day we have lived eternally accompanies us.
Even if we do not remember them, the way we have lived these days has formed our identity, has made us who we are.
After death, the body disintegrates, but in the realm of the spirit, this identity continues.
In relation to the soul which existed before we were born, our days, our life story, is its eternal garment. The realization that every day is forever guides us to search how to live each day to its fullest.
