Jewish Talmud/Folklore

Hello All,

I went to Hebrew day school for many years and distinctly remembered a story I could not find anywhere online. Essentially it’s about a group of people who were invited to go to heaven to be with G-d and were required to leave their eyes behind on some sort of plate. The only thing I could find that was remotely similar was the story of Pardes. Please help me out if you can I was trying to make an art piece around that concept but I’m doubting if it’s even real at this point.
