Day 42 - The Eternal Struggle Between Body and Soul (Orchos Tzaddikim | Love 6)

Jewish Inspiration Podcast · Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe

What drives your actions: love, fear, or the desire for reward? Embark on day 42 of our spiritual quest as we explore and unravel the essence of "Yiras Shomayim"—the fear of heaven. We delve into the timeless struggle between body and soul, rooted in the very first verse of the Torah, and reflect on how this internal contradiction shapes our lives. Through the inspiring examples of Pinchas and Abraham, we emphasize the importance of choosing spiritual elevation over fleeting earthly pleasures.

In this episode, we also stress the significance of serving Hashem out of pure love, unaided by fear or anticipation of reward. Drawing from the unparalleled dedication of Abraham, who reached an exceptional level of spiritual greatness and became beloved to Hashem, we encourage listeners to adopt a similar devotion in their own spiritual practices. By consistently studying Torah, fulfilling mitzvahs, and walking the path of righteousness simply because it is the right thing to do, we uncover the profound beauty and boundless rewards of living a life deeply rooted in love for Hashem. Join us as we strive for spiritual greatness and explore what it truly means to serve Hashem with all our hearts and souls.
