The Sparks of Kabbalah

A nazir gives up wine to come closer to Hashem, yet the Gemara in Nedarim calls him a sinner for it. Why does the pasuk say he sinned against his nefesh when only his body went without? And why is he blamed when someone dies suddenly beside him, which he could not stop? The Ben Ish Chai answers with a concept from Kabbalah: sparks of holiness hidden in the physical world. Under a decree banning kosher meat, Jewish workers in a butcher shop quietly feed their brothers, and one diner learns from his bill that something went wrong. It changes what happens every time you sit down to eat.Thank you to Yona Veffer for his studio equipment. This podcast is produced by Eli Podcast Productions for free לע"נ יצחק אייזק בן ר' משה
