Description

When we stand up to the yetzer hara (evil inclination) it backs down. We must look deeply into the powers of our bodies and desires to use them for holiness. The yetzer hara can be defeated through using the powers of the body. There is a zoo of 70 animals inside every person. The body of a Jew is holy. When a wild animal has greater potential when tamed. Our forefathers were powerful people who used their powers for holiness. We must admit that we have lusts and desires before we can use them for good.
