Description

Note on page 74. Can a tzaddik still be called a tzaddik even if he does some aveiras? End of the 1st perek: The nefesh behamis (animal soul) enlivens the physical body and contains the 4 bad middos (personality characteristics) according to the four elements. Jewish soul comes from klippah noga (husks of light) and contains good. Rav Weinberger translates the 2nd perek covering these topics: creation of the neshama (soul); Rambam's thesis; journey of child; everything is rooted in Hashem. 114 year old Persian Jew attributes long life to never having a machloches (disagreement).
