0:00very unique, very special, and one of the best things that you can possibly do for someone who's passed is to do mitzvot, good deeds that God decreed, in their name. Meaning, you fulfill God's commandments, whether it's learning Torah or engaging in the acts He prescribed, in their name. When you do it in someone else's name, the benefit is that the person performing the mitzvah receives the credit; they earn the mitzvah in the Olam HaBa (World to Come)
1:25And that's one of the beautiful things about mitzvot and the decrees and the amazing things that God gave us, is that if we involve other people to do what God said, we benefit even more than us doing it by ourselves. Because, number one, we are still doing it, and number two, we're getting the credit for encouraging somebody else to do it. So now, instead of you having one fire, you have two fires, or ten fires, or twenty fires. Making one other person religious, instead of you just doing mitzvot, even if you're the biggest tzaddik in the world—which tzaddik means righteous—even if you're the most righteous person in the world, and you do everything that Hashem said, and your entire day is consumed with Torah and mitzvot, following everything that Hashem commanded, your whole day, from morning to night, everything you're doing is perfect. But you're by yourself. And then there's another person who maybe doesn't do as much as you, but he does a lot. However, he encourages 500 other people to do mitzvot. He's going to have a lot more credit than you. Why? Because it's him times 500. And those 500, in turn, will encourage other people. It's another 500. Another 500 could even become a whole nation. So he's making a change, creating a massive impact that leads to significant transformation.
