About Me

Life is an interesting challenge given to draw down the essence of Godliness from the upper worlds down to this lower realm of existence. How can one man accomplish such a thing? In truth it takes more than just one man. How can one small group of Jews accomplish such a thing? They cannot do it alone either. It is the responsibility and potential of the entirety of the human race. Every man, woman, boy and girl have a special purpose in life and before they are born this purpose is clear- only after birth does the clarity of purpose become obscured by the sitra achra. In truth, the world appears to be in chaos but the chaotic mess is an orchestration of divine providence to wake up the human race and to refocus their drive towards the purpose of their existence.
