Exchange Of Matter

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

Especially with our people, it is impossible to separate between physical needs and spiritual needs. The spiritual transforms into physicality and the physical rises to become spiritual in a perpetual chemistry of exchange.

Heal the soul and the body is renewed. Heal the body and the soul is empowered.

Born to Kvetch

This book has heights and depths, and both confirm what you have said.

I have been reading it for an hour. It's about the basic religious flavor of everything in the language, even when used by Jewish atheists. The example I just now read is

"asher yatsar papir"

to mean "toilet paper"

Of all the ways it could have been said, this was the choice by the Yid on the street. This may sound like a vulgarization of the spiritual, but I choose to see it as a spiritualization of every aspect of life--and an awareness that, indeed, "the physical rises to become spiritual in a perpetual chemistry of exchange." Or, as the book puts it, "every trip to the john is memorialized as a triumph over death." .

My Bubia, may she rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing, always said this prayer ("asher yatsar"), and so do I. I know it by heart.
