John Mayer learning Torah?


In 2008 John Mayer recorded a live album titled "where's the light?" If #JohnMayer studied a little bit of Torah, he would've already had the answer; just check out the dialogue below:

“The light which G-d created on the first day,” says the #Talmud's Rabbi Elazar, “a man could see with it from one end of the world to the other.”

The #Zohar points out that the Hebrew words ohr (“light”) and roz (“secret”) share the same gamatria, or numerical value.

“It cannot shine by day,” says the #Midrash Rabba, “it would dim the sun. It cannot shine at night - for it was created only for the day. So where is it? It was hidden.  It is preserved for the righteous in the World to Come.” “Where did He hide it?” asks the Zohar, and replies: “In the Torah.”
