Description

As a result of studying Torah and learning about the lives of tzaddikim (the righteous), we feel a clear demand on our neshama (soul) to dedicate our lives to kedusha (holiness). Often we are unable to integrate our spiritual yearnings into our practical livescausing distress. Rav Kook warns us not to let go of our powerful retzonos (yearnings). Our lofty she'ifos (aspirations) enable us to grow and live on the 'higher path of life'.
