The Soul of Adam: A Kabbalistic Perspective


Listen Later

In the heart of Kabbalistic teachings lies the profound story of Adam Harishon, the first man, whose soul encapsulated the essence of every Jew throughout history. This extraordinary soul, envisioned as a vast body, comprises countless individual souls, each with its unique role and mission in the divine tapestry of existence. When Adam and Eve faced their fateful moment of sin, the privilege of embodying this great soul shifted to Yaakov, the third patriarch.
