My sense, knowing none of the mfarshim on that pasuk, is that the Torah's consuming fire refers to annhiliation of ego, or the burning (or pruning) of that which is superfluous in our life. Fire can also allow stiff things to bend and become moldable. And it can destroy. Without help, the Torah's fire can burn, wound and even scar a person or family. Just read the tochacha (rebukes).michael kayehttp://www.begin2write.comnoreply@blogger.com
