Welcome, dear friends, to our brief exploration of Tanya.

In chapter 37, the Alter Rebbe discusses the two souls within each of us—the godlike soul and the animal soul. Just as a small amount of vinegar can sour a pot of milk, the animal soul, though smaller in stature, can easily overpower the godlike soul if we let it.

The key takeaway?  Don’t underestimate the power of even small, negative influences. They can quickly spoil the sweetness of a good day, a kind deed, or a pure thought.  Stay vigilant, my friends.
