We are not physical beings living a spiritual life.

We are spiritual beings living a physical life.

The Baal HaTanya taught us that every Jew has a “chelek Elokah mima’al mamesh” – an actual spark of the Divine.

We do not “have” souls. We are souls.

It’s not that we “have” a neshamah. Every Jew is a neshamah.
