Shavua Tov!

Isn't it so Talmudic to answer a question with a question?
Last post we left off with a question.
Preparing ourselves for the Day of Atonement can start off with deep introspection. We were created to develop. Each of us is a work in progress. What are our working parts?
First, we have nefesh - the force that invigorates physiologically.
Then, we each have ruach - other than the physical;
                                                        our spirit, essence, thoughts, intellect...
And we all have a neshumah - the human soul which is Godly. According to Rabbi Twerski, it is a mistake to ascribe to the neshumah the emotions of a physical human being such as envy or anger. The neshumah resembles God in 5 ways.
1. God fills the entire world
The neshumah fills the entire body
2. God sees but can't be seen
This is also true of the neshumah
3. God sustains the world.
The neshumah sustains the body.
4. God is pure
The neshumah is pure.
5. God is concealed.
The Neshumah is concealed.

So, would you like to pause for some deep introspection and think about all this?

B'Shalom,
