Description

Negative personality traits come from the body and their rectification comes from the soul that gives light to the body. On Purim we can reach level of "not knowing" by causing the body to become intoxicated. Purim is a taste of the state that everything is good and we are in a constant state of being in touch with who we really are. The power of good is the one true key for coping with all the powers of evil. If someone offers a method for treating the elements of evil in a person without using the true inner good in the soul, we can be sure it is completely erroneous. Love is the basis of our very existence! Root of immodest dress is an attempt to have others love them.Kindness is expressed through giving, which is an act of love. When a person feels unloved, they lack basic vitality.
