For the Refua Shlema of Mordechai Tzvi ben Sara & Moshe ben Mazal.We are all made up of two parts. Orchot Tzadikkim explains that love is channeling our energies to appreciate what G-d does for us. What do these two sentences have to do with eachother?
The two parts that make up a Jew is the Neshama and the Guf, the Soul and the Body. The Soul only knows one thing: Let’s get as close to G-d as possible, I want to be glued to G-d and I want to cry out to G-d and I want to live G-d. The body is the exact opposite: meaning it was made with “Ruach Behemot,” which is spirit of animals. So our goal in life is to purify, LeKadesh, the animal spirit, the body to channel our energy to want to live the goal of the Neshama, which is to be glued to Hashem.
In order to do this we need to take things upon ourselves to become vessels of Kdusha (purity). We do this by separating ourselves from things and actions that the Torah teaches us that are not Kadosh, such as anything to do with sexual immorality, not loving one’s neighbor such as speaking badly about them, and anything that your Rabbi would not do (in general).
B’H we should all realize that having a Neshama, even though might seem like a burden, is a HUGE ZCHUT (privelage), because this is what separates us from animals.
SHAVUA TOV!
