Ki Sisa – Ki Sisa Es Rosh 5731

When we make mistakes in our lives we fix them through a process of  Teshuva in which we regret our past and refocus our energy towards goodness. What about the damage done to our souls on a core level beyond the reach of our conscious mind? What about the shame at the essence of our souls, for having wasted a moment or a lifetime on trivial matters and not fulfilling our G-dly mission for which our souls descended? A dialog between Moshe and G-d about healing the scars and repairing souls at their quintessential core.

You Vs. Yourself – The Three Garments Of The Soul

The garments of each soul – thought, speech and action – are deeply integrated, but remain external components. A person’s intelligence or emotions cannot be disconnected or completely stopped, and cannot express themselves on their own. However, the garments of thought, speech and action are the tools, or vessels, which can convey the inner state of a person, and can be halted on demand. Each of the two souls has its own set of garments, and are drawn to activities which actualize that soul’s personality and desires.
