Basics of Jewish Spirituality – Aruh HaShulhan

Part One: The struggle between the animal soul and the Godly soul. The difference between people and the angels. The real meaning of the Shema.

Part Two: How to come to know Hashem and love Hashem. How people try to deny that Hashem exists – and what motivates them.

Part Three: How to love and fear Hashem: lessons from King David. The difference between love and fear of a king versus love and fear of Hashem.

Part Four: When to cut yourself off from the community. The definition of a hasid.

Part Five: The true meaning of “Man does not live by bread alone.” Does this mean that you need luxuries? The exile was for our benefit.
