Rabbi Friedman, I recently attended a wedding in Toronto, were you spoke.
You told a story of a holocaust survivor, who was emotionally and psychologically damaged, and that some rabbi in Montreal spoke to him normally and told him to say L’haim, cleansing his soul, and causing him to have moment of clarity.
An emotionally damaged person, Jewish or not, when spoken to normally, can have moments of clarity. It’s a normal thing, medically proven, that happens a million times a day.
besides What's the connection between a shining soul and clarity of the mind?
Isn’t a person that was damaged through the holocaust, an uncontaminated and pure
soul, with clarity or not ?
David.
P.S I really enjoy your Blog, thank you.
Hi and Mazal Tov.
Of course! Every soul is pure and uncontaminated. But it can be buried under grief. In that instance, the pure, uncontaminated, but buried soul was liberated by the rabbi's few words.
In the physical sense, why does the soul affect the clarity of the mind?
The things that go on in the heart and mind are what block the Neshama. Only if the heart and mind are clean then the Neshama can shine through.
So when we say "a dirty neshama" we mean the dirt that covers it, but not that the neshama itself is a dirty one. The dirt on the neshama that makes it murky is from the emotions and the mind.
So if the heart is not in the right place or the head is not on straight then the neshama can't shine through.
