Shalom Aleichem Chevra! What's up beautiful souls? Ever feel like you're wandering through life in complete darkness, unsure where you're going even when everything seems fine? We dive deep into an incredible piece of Gemara from Sotah 21A that gives us the roadmap for finding lost souls and navigating through the spiritual darkness of this world. We explore the powerful mashal of someone walking alone at night, afraid of thorns, pits, wild animals, and bandits, not knowing which direction to go. The Rebbe teaches us that this represents our journey through life, where the thorns are our anger and negative emotions from the element of water, the pits are depression and sadness from the earth element, and the wild beasts represent our misguided animal instincts. Even when we fix all our bad middos and become nice people who take out the garbage on time and do airport pickups for friends, we can still feel existentially lost like Tom McDonald looking in the mirror at night wondering where his life is heading. The first step in our tikun is seeing the face of the tzaddik, which is like receiving a torch of light. We learn the beautiful idea that the tzaddik is like the mother of the generation, nursing us with the lifegiving milk of Torah. Just like when a crying baby immediately calms down upon seeing mama, when we see the tzaddik's face, we reconnect with our source and our neshamah remembers who we really are, causing all our narishkeit and foolishness to melt away. If this Torah touched your heart, please like and share with someone who might need this guidance! ---------------------------------------------------------- 🔹Join Rabbi Moshe Chaim's Exclusive Content Sign up here 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@ChevraRavMosheChaim/join 🔹Join Rabbi Moshe Chaim's Private Chizzuk Group Sign up here 👉 https://subscribepage.io/join-the-chevra 🔹Visit the Website 👉 https://www.ravmoshechaim.com/ 🔹Newsletter 👉 https://ravmoshechaimchevra.substack.com/ 🔹Discover Beautiful Sacred Art 👉 https://bit.ly/chevra-art 🔹Join us in Yeshiva - in Jerusalem!
