The Gemara in Chullin 92b teaches there are forty-five righteous people of whom the world continues to exist.
Questions
What is symbolized by the number forty-five? Why does the Gemara divide the righteous into two groups of thirty and fifteen? Why is the larger group in Eretz Yisrael?
Answer
The number forty-five factors as three times fifteen. The Maharal explains that fifteen represents the highest level and mentions the significance of three. The larger group exists in Eretz Yisrael since it is the heart of the world and source of vitality for the entire world.
