No matter what we’ve done, no matter where we’ve been, and no matter what’s been done to us…a Yid is never broken.

People walk around thinking, “No one really knows what’s going on inside of me; if they did, they would throw me out.” If they understood how dark my soul is, they would reject me.”

It’s false.  It’s simply not true.

A Jew is always whole; there is no damage…because the “yechidah shebenefesh,” that pure inner core, won’t allow it.

Nothing can touch the essential holiness of who you are.

That spark doesn’t ever dull.
