About this episode

Rabbi David Bibi explores the concept of soul purity and the unique mission each individual has in life.

  If someone told you that your soul is already pure, you might ask a very reasonable question: If that’s true, then what exactly am I here to fix? This morning’s Breakfast & a Class grew out of a question asked after Shaharit—a question that opened the door to one of the most profound teachings of the Ben Ish Ḥai. Together we explore the purity of the neshamah, the purpose of our lives, the meaning of tikkun , and why each of us has been entrusted with a unique mission that no one else can fulfill.      What made the morning especially meaningful was what happened after the class. A few people who rarely attend synagogue happened to be there, and I wondered whether such a deep topic might be too much. Instead, they came over afterward to say how much the discussion spoke to them. Later that day, while I was at the cemetery, the conversation continued as one person shared the ideas with others, leading to an entirely new discussion about reincarnation and the journey of the soul. Sometimes HaShem reminds us that the people who need to hear a particular message are exactly the people He sends to hear it. I hope this class leaves you with the same question…
