Part 4/8:
Drawing from mystical teachings, Rabbi Jacobson highlights that the soul is inherently restless. He cites the verse in Proverbs stating that the soul is a Divine flame, constantly flickering and never at rest. This flame symbolizes our divine essence—forever seeking, longing, and yearning for growth and connection.
When a person loses this spark or the "flicker" in their eyes, it often signifies that something vital is missing. This restless spirit is what fuels creativity, motivation, and continuous self-improvement. Without this internal drive, life can feel inert or empty.
