Tikun Hamidot (Refinement of character) Part 3 - Rabbi Alon Anava

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Alon Anava’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

So, So, the last two shearim we spoke about tikkun hamiddot. And we did a little introduction to tikkun hamiddot. Just to to kind of recap what we talked about the last two shearim is that everything in the world below manifests from the ten sefirot. Everything that we have here was mishtalshel going down in a in a in a descending chain into this world from the spiritual structure from of the spiritual worlds. And I come and ask myself in this world, "What am I doing here? What is my purpose here?" Then I need to find out why Hashem put me in this world. Hashem didn't put me in this world to live here for 60 70 years to to go on another vacation or to build another house or to to to to go through this life without any purpose. In order to reach to my purpose, Hashem gave me Torah and mitzvot. That would be my my guide to my purpose. The whole the Torah and mitzvot are like air and food to my neshamah. The same way that my body needs food and air, I can't deprive my body from food or air. I can't deprive my soul from food and air. And the food and the air that the soul needs to eat is Torah and mitzvot. So, there's no difference between Jews. All the Jews are equal. We all have to do the same mitzvot. Some Jews have to do a little bit more like priests.
