Tanya with Rabbi Yosef

What does Kdusha (holy) mean? How do we bring Hashem into our lives? Introducing a fundamental concept called "Bittul"

We explain how our Animal Soul operates and we bein to explain the chassidic definition of 'bad'

Through Torah study, Hashem Hashem literally becomes a part of our brain creating an unparalleled union between us and Hashem.  In His humility, Hashem brings himself down to our level. Our soul is nourished by Torah study and needs that nourishment to achieve.

-Torah & Mitzvos are much more than instructions to man. They connect us with Hashem himself. -In His humilty, G-d lowers himself down to our level -"One ...Mitzva moment in this world is better than all of paradise."

The G-dly feelings of our heart need to find practical expression in our actions of Torah & Mitzvos and our actions need to be imbued and powered by a real heartfelt relationship with Hashem. 

Every Jew has an inner calling for something spiritual beyond the material world we live in. Chapter 3 gives the formula to experience our Neshoma with mind & heart.

My second soul is a part of G-d. This makes Him a real part of my life.
