Your Journey to Personal Refinement
Can a person in our generation attain the feeling to holiness described in so many stories of old? Is it possible to learn to love and reach a level where we rejoice in the merit of
spending money on matzah for Passover, tefillin for a child, or a coin for the poor, just as we do when buying a new piece of furniture?
The question also arises in the opposite direction: Is it possible to distance ourselves from the love of that which is forbidden? To reduce desires for transgressions and negative things?
Are we truly in a position to master, indeed change our instincts, and traits?
