Shalom and welcome back, dear friends. Today, let us delve into Chapter 11 of Iggeres HaTeshuvah, where the Alter Rebbe teaches us a profound lesson about our internal struggles. We all experience those internal battles between right and wrong, the yetzer hara whispering doubts and temptations. But here’s the key: even within that struggle, there’s a spark of holiness. Why? Because even the mere desire to do good, even if not yet acted upon, even if fleeting, comes from the essence of our soul, a spark of godliness. So, even amidst challenges, know that your very desire for good is a testament to your inherent connection to something higher. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
