Description

Continuing in a piece in Pri HaAretz by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk, Parsha Vayigash. Everything in existence is made up of osios (letters) in Lashon HaKodesh (the Holy Tongue). In reality, the word comes first, then the object comes into being. Every person with the same Hebrew name comes from the root of that same original name. A man in afraid of losing himself in the taivos (lusts) of this world, while a woman is afraid of losing herself in her husband. A rasha (evil person) will not remember his real name when he leaves the world. A person's hidden name of evil is hinted to in their non-Lashon HaKodesh name.
