• The Tzadik is someone who is totally rid of his Yetzer Hara (desire for evil), not just external perfection.
• Every Jewish person has two souls, an animal-like soul, and a divine soul.
• The Nefesh Habehamis (animal-like soul) energizes our body and is the source of all negative thoughts and feelings.
• For Jewish people, the Nefesh Habehamis also produces altruistic emotions such as compassion or kindness.
