Everything is Dressed in Torah

(painting by Hyman Bloom)

Everything in the world gets its vitality from the Torah.  This is because there isn't a single thing that can exist without receiving its vitality from Hashem yisborach.  The Holy One, blessed is He and the Torah are one.  And, because of this fact that they are one, a person can serve Hashem yisborach through every single thing that exists in the world.  It is written, "in all your ways know Him" (משלי ג:ו).  Everything is dressed in the Torah.  Thus, a person can connect everything to the Torah and can turn everything into Torah.

יורה דעה - הלכות נדרים, הלכה ב:ג
