Do you ever feel like a stranger in your own skin? That is the consequence of exile, Rav Kook tells. "I am in the depths of exile," the prophet once declared. The "I"—the essence of selfhood, our truest selves—has been abandoned and banished.

How do we reclaim our identity? How do we transform the house of our body into a home? How do we feel alive? These are the questions the soul demands, especially in light of Tisha B'Av. We must reclaim our "I," if not for ourselves, then for God.

Tune in for the melodious words of Rav Kook.
