Wisdom for marriage I was vacuumed into your shiur, non-stop, so fascinating, so drawn. Todah rabah for very nice wisdom. Reply
Maybe two soul mates coming together can be comparable to two of the six universes coming together. Like forming a shin and a lammed and having one child that is a yod they are three that potentially started as one. That's how I know we are soulmates because we were formed and existed before we came into body. A H A V H A EVOL love backwards or evolve not complete. Thank you for continuing to be the light in the world like the sun and moon soul mates. Divine.
