Thank you
This was fabulous, thank you. Torah 141 of Likutey Moharan begins with these words: "If a person MERITS to truly feel the pain of his sins..." Mrs. Palatnik's video helped me better understand perhaps what that means. Physical pain, emotional pain, spiritual pain, it all propels us to realize there is something very wrong and to work on healing ourselves and/or our relationships. In the case of feeling the pain of our sins, to work on repairing our relationship with Hashem!

Seems so Lori
With the billions of pain killers and narcotics being sold by prescription, marketed on the streets and sold over the counter..... no one wants pain of any kind.
