‘The fire on the altar shall forever be kindled; it shall not be extinguished.’ [Leviticus 6:6]

‘Rabbi Phineas in the name of Rabbi Simeon ben Laqish said: The Torah which the Holy One, Praised Be, gave to Moses, was white fire engraved in black fire. It was fire mixed with fire; hewn from fire, given from fire.’ [Jerusalem Talmud Shekalim 6:1]

‘There is a fire on which the offering is aflame, and it is in the heart of a person on account of the great inward awakenings of their soul. [Sfat Emet, Tzav]

‘There is a fire that consumes and it burns and devours, and upon it is a white fire.’ [Zohar v.1 50b-51a]

‘Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out’ 
[The Smiths]
