A Cleansing for the Soul By Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser

R’ Yechezkel Levenstein explains that the upsurge in mitzvos cleanses the nefesh from the impurities of the body. From the time of the sin of Odom HaRishon the nefesh became impure; the Torah is a means by which man is able to return to our earlier state of purity and holiness.

The month of Tishrei, therefore, is a special present to the Bnai Yisroel. It is a charmed time in the year where our potential for greatness is limitless. Since Tishrei is so replete with mitzvos, its awesome responsibility may at times be overwhelming.

the soul is so tender that we have to have much patience. Thank You for teaching us that.
