    So then of what use is the Torah?  If the Taorah just brings out what's inside of you, then what purpose does it have ?  I can work on myself without the Torah.  Please comment.

    And how does one overcome their personal challenges when they isolate you from others? When part of the problem is constant rejection and feeling alone?

    You may not realize it, but you just explained why christianity's messiah could never be the Jewish Messiah.

    Question for Rabbi YY

    I know there is more to this class next week but how does this process relate to the birth of the disabled? You had mentioned this topic in the beginning.

    Some souls volunteer to go into the darknesx

    To extract sparks. 

    These are the shluchim who go to places devoid of kedusha to reach the lost sparks and help.them return.

    Yehuda took out Moshiach

    But.....he had no intention to do so whatsoever.  His intent was the opposite

    The military strategy to fake out the enemy

    By pretending to withdraw and appear to lose, was done by Hashem Himself.

    At first He was the Only One and there was only goodness. Then He created the yetzer Hora to tempt man and created a temptable man. Then man sometimes succumbs to temptation and sins. 

    This means it appears that man as an experiment is losing......BUT eventually man does teshuva individually and collectively and overcomes the enemy, tge yetzer

    There's a military strategy whereby one side

    Appears to be losing so the other side pursues, coming out of their defenses, and those pretending to give up attack the open enemy.

    Where did this strategy come from?

    From Krias yam suf! The yidden appeared to be trapped and went into the open yam. Then the mitzrim pursued into the yam, and then WHAMMO!

      Same is true in chess.  Give up a pawn to gain a rook!
