A New Soul, Part II

Bat Melech, with Rena Richman.
Bat Melech teachings appear every second Wednesday. The next Bat Melech teaching will appear on September 10, 2008, (Elul 10, 5768).

We all love to welcome new born babies into the world. Where do these babies come from? What is the source of their spiritual essence? And what happens along that nine month journey from womb to the light of day that determines the nature of their soul as they emerge into this world? Rena explores the answers to these questions in part II of a two part teaching.

The Way of G-d

Biblical Faith - with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.

The signifiance of Yom Kippur is that HaShem set aside one day for Israel, when repentance is readily accepted and their sins can easily be erased. This rectifies all spiritual damage caused by these sins, and removed the darkness that stengthened itself as a result of them.

It is important to realize that one of the major rectifications that the prophets selected for Israel was the concept of reading the Torah. This reading includes two basic concepts. The first is the annual Torah reading, where the entire Torah is read each year, following a constant cycle. The second consists of the special portions that are read at specific times (such as the various holy day reading.

On special certain days, it is also appropriate that special portions be read, relating to the concepts of those days. The illumination of those days is thus stengthened through the power of the Torah, which is the strongest power of mankind.

From the “RaMCHaL”–Derech HaShem–Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. Page 349–357.
