Description

Love is essential to avodas Hashem (divine service). Rectifying the body through the light of our neshamah (soul) whether from Torah, mitzvos, or acts of kindness. Possible to rectify the bodily from within itself through fear and suffering. World has never had such an opportunity to do so many averas (sins) as in our generation. When we know that yirah (fear) is the proper way, we should employ fear of punishment and rejoice when fearing punishments. Feeling afraid of the consequences of an avera itself causes pain and suffering. Every moment of feeling the fear is a tikkun (rectification) for my avera's and is my ticket for changing my life.
