„...the fallen and for the recovery of the wounded, let him send a private message to me. I will update whoever sends it whether and when we will hold such a study over Zoom. Rav Kook's Sayings / The Place of Pain, the Place of Repair:”

When we are sad, when things are hard for us — our soul lights a red bulb. As with a bodily illness, it shows the place of pain and asks for healing. We must understand that the place of pain demands of us progress and repair. It asks for a change in our ways of life, in our energies, in our physical state, and in countless private and general matters relating to our lives. A person in pain is a person whose sensors are working. We must take our soul's request and seek a cure for it — to use the signals of pain for healing and for progress.
