THEMES of Featured Ari Articles
One who gives generously gets more!
Intellectually, a person can understand that it is not right for him to do evil. Misdeeds are possible only because the intellect is divorced from the emotions.
By renewing our connection to G-d in prayer or performing acts of loving-kindness, we show that our intellect is now affecting our emotions and actions, thus healing the breach between the two halves of G-d's Name. |
