This week Torah's portion Ki Tetze centers on reconnecting with the infinite essence of our own soul. Eitan explains that the verse "when you go out to battle" reminds us that nobody can't defeat the negativity through willpower alone. Our responsibility is to make a sincere and continuous effort to transform our desire to receive for the self alone. The real spiritual work during the month of Elul or Virgo is actively feeling and appreciating our soul's inherent and eternal goodness which help us reclaim the sparks of Light that we have given away to the negetive side. Doing that opens for us the blessings available at Rosh Hashanah.
Written 2,000 years ago by Rav Shimon Bar Yochai, the Zohar explains all of the secrets of the Bible, the Universe and every aspect of life. The Zohar class is a weekly journey to understand the energy and challenges that will confront us during the week and how we can elevate our consciousness to prevent chaos from occurring in our lives.
