Of course, everything I wrote about ignorance leading to slavery is at least as applicable on the personal level. We’re hobbled not merely by ignorance, but by self-ignorance. If only we could bring to consciousness everything that our souls and bodies already knows….
What is the חושך (chosech), darkness that masks our knowledge from us?
Many times it’s thinking that we already know everything!
Shabbat Shalom

As per our conversation earlier this week, perhaps we must “find” our treasures in the darkness, whether they be silver and gold, or the tempered brilliance of wisdom. Shabbat Shalom, Elissa
Very much so. Thank you and Shabbat Shalom.
