„Known portions of the imagination and of the will are cast off as refuse, cut away and thrown out as a foreskin, and the remainder ascends and is sanctified.”From Shemonah Kevatzim 1:451

Everything that exists in our world can be sanctified — to cast off the refuse and eat the fruit.

Have a pleasant rest of the day, everyone!

Friends, keep sending names for the elevation of souls and for recovery, and we will publish them on the page.
