Purpose

The term ‘soul’ is so widely used in our lives. Does everything have a soul? And what is it in a practical application? A kabbalistic look at our relationship with our soul, and the souls of all that we encounter.

The divine presence came down to this world and then the divine presence left this world. What will bring it back?

In describing G-d’s relationship with creation the Midrash says: The holy one blessed be He, desires a dwelling place in the lowest world. Desire, implies not that the project is unnecessary, rather it is essential to Him.

All resistance to G-dliness comes from un-holiness; through mitzvots we can bring G-dliness even to areas of resistance, and where G-d feels foreign and un-natural He eventually finds a home.

Why were we given the ability to injure or kill? Also, what brings evil into existence and what do we do about it?
