Description

No fault in the world can uproot the truth of “My G-d, the soul You placed in me is pure.” Even the worst person in the world can engrave in their mind, contemplate, and repeat to themself that although they discover within themselves terrible evil, they are inwardly good. If I identify myself as my body, then the body will rule over me. In order to build the power of good in us and remove the power of evil — particularly the low self-esteem — we must wake up by observing Torah and mitzvos. We must believe in the soul’s existence, contemplating that “I am a neshamah.” We must believe in ourselves as a nation in Eretz Yisrael.
