This episode delves into the profound teachings of Rabbi Schneur Zalman in the Tanya, illuminating the existence of two distinct souls within every Jew: the Nefesh HaBehamit, which animates the body with its base desires and instincts, and the Nefesh Elokit, a divine spark that transcends the material world, aiming to refine our lower nature.
This spiritual journey reveals how the Nefesh Elokit, before descending into the world, is shown the vastness of the spiritual realms and the challenges it will face. It is charged with the mission to overcome these challenges and elevate the material world, transforming the Nefesh HaBehamit through adherence to divine commandments. The podcast explores the dynamic interplay between these two souls, their battle for influence over our actions, and the ultimate journey of the soul after death—facing judgment, undergoing purification in Gehinom if necessary, and then entering the World to Come to reap the rewards of its earthly efforts.
Listeners will be guided through the layers of soul and world, understanding how through learning and mitzvot, a soul prepares for its eventual resurrection and the ultimate revelation of Divinity in the physical world. Rabbi Bernath's podcast offers a deep dive into the esoteric concepts of the soul's journey, resurrection, and the purpose of creation, inviting listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journey and the eternal efforts to create a dwelling place for the Divine in this world.
