Discussing with a friend, The claim is “Nefesh elokis (or divine soul) and the nefesh behamis, animal soul, everyone has the latter but only a jew has the divine soul.” This is taken from the Tanya, kabbalah, (i know, you don’t encourage outside sources and that is fine, because I don’t actually read the Tanya.) my guess is,  to reconcile our different views, is that, its simply a spiritual transition. A jew is a stage needed to be “developed” , people get confused thinking of “jew” is being limited to physicality, Got Any sources that would prove the opposite or merge the two ideas?

thanks Chris. Btw, I Love the podcast with Seth and Asaf.

Is there such a thing as non jewish souls and jewish souls? You told me about the mixing of the nations and israel in the shattered soul, is there an article from The Baal Hasulam or anyone that talks specifically about this? Need sources, asking for a friend.

I choose the sages, i was just surprised with this one, how can i explain that to someone who looks at the hebrew for truth. But it’s not there, Maybe there is a gematria to it, but, ill just look at it like, “later, i will understand”.

Im reminded of something from the talmud (i think) i could be saying it wrong, but something like, one sage says right is right but 1000 say right is left, we believe them over the one. Maybe you remember more than me…

I can’t find the connection of unity יחד and Jew יהודי it seems there is no relation in the root. Am i missing something ? Can i have a source reference please.  Much thanks!

How dose a “Non Jew” have this thing called “Israel” in them?

[Brad]

I understand that Israel is not a nationality and jew means yehudi, unity with the Creator, can you elaborate on “why a non Jew would have israel in them”?
