Description

We can only connect to kabbalistic (mystical) concepts on a level that corresponds to our own. Even learning the deepest concepts with the classic explanations will only generate an understanding based on our level. The learning of science remains outside our soul. Learning Torah engages all the parts of the soul. Learning Torah without soul has its obvious consequences. The worthlessness of souless, academic treatments of classic Torah texts. There is no ruchnius (spirituality) in most so-called Jewish concerts.
