Re: Megilah 010: Does "Vayehi" connote "Tza'ar"?
The Kollel replied:
>>This world is exactly as is necessary for us to use it to earn Olam ha'Ba
>>through the service of Hashem, and as
such its creation is indeed a cause celebre -- which is probably the same
reason that Rebbi Yirmiyah permits one to
be filled with joy in this world.<<

Baruch Chai ha' Olamim.....Blessed be the life of the world(s) plural. what
are the other worlds refered to here? What does Daas Torah say about life
on other planets? Could there be other planets with life on them and that
God gave them Torah too according to what was appropriate to them?

The Kollel replies:
Shaul,
The "worlds" I referred to were Olam ha'Zeh vs. Olam ha'Ba, which is
considered a "new world." This appears in many Tefilos, such as "Min
ha'Olam Ad ha'Olam."
As for life on other planets, I think the subject is dealt with in
"Challenge" (edited by Rabbi Carmel), and other such books.
Be well,
Mordecai Kornfeld
