Questions for today:
How do we use the term ‘portion’ with regards to our spiritual Soul?
We mentioned how the structure and the design of the universe is framed around G-d's desire to have a relationship with a human being that has 613 parts and infinite detail.
This is seen in the name of mankind, "Adam" - adameh loelyon – a reflection of the above.
The human is patterned off of the Torah and the Divine structure within it.
The same way we see this on an individual level, we see it on a global level.
Adam the first human being and Jacob our forefather had collective souls. Their Souls contained the Souls of every human being that would be born afterwards and were in the image of the Torah that our collective Soul represents.
The same way each individual Soul has 613 parts with infinite detail, each of us now represents one of those 613 parts or tiny details of their original collective souls.
