Yalkut Meam Loez commentary on Bereishit, perek 2 pasuk 7
(volume 1, page 245):
“A person who has not been religious,
and then returns to the path of Torah
(a baal teshuvah) can be worthy of
such an additional soul every day.”
In other words, Baal Teshuvah can have the extra Shabbat soul even during weekdays!
Yalkut Meam Loez was written in Turkey by Rabbi Yaakov Culi, who was born in year 1689 and died in 1732 of the Common Era.
====================
Dear WolfishMusings,
If I guess correctly, you will soon be taking chemotherapy.
I might be wrong about this, but in my humble opinion, chemotherapy can do more harm than good.
I might be wrong about this, but I strongly suspect that chemotherapy harmed my mother, just as much as the cancer itself did, maybe more.
Sincerely,
