The human Soul is the most ethereal of God’s creations. Our Sages tell us that it is spiritually loftier than Angels. Before we continue our discussions related to what happens to the Soul in the Afterlife, it is important to gain a basic understanding of the nature of the Soul: What is it? Where does it come from? What is the nature of its relationship with life here, when it is temporarily bound to a body by Divine decree? What are the challenges that the Soul must face? These are obviously weighty subjects, and researching them gives all of us the impression that we are way in over our heads, but nevertheless we will give it our best shot. In this first episode on the subject of a Soul, we attempt to construct a picture of what the Soul is. It turns out to be much more complicated than we would expect.

This TORAH 101 Podcast is dedicated in honor of Baruch Ben Yehuda and Laura Bat Yaakov for all that they have done for us and especially with regards to the amazing sacrifices that they have gone through to give me and my sister a Jewish education. May they get a lot of nachas from us and from this podcast.
