Description

Every one of us carries kedushas (holiness of) Hashem within us. Hating a Jew means hating Hashem. The greater that Jews reveal Hashem in the world, the greater is their oppression. Tzimtum (restriction of Divine light) came to create the possibility of free will. In the beginning of creation, the root of the yetzer hara (evil inclination) did not want us to listen to him. After the sin of Adam the sitra achara (the evil side of creation) deluded itself that its purpose is to make people sin. A Jew can unify lower and higher spiritual worlds through his Torah and tefillah (prayer). The fallacy of Modern Orthodoxy.
