Episode 13

the soul knows the way home

**The Recognition** — The viceroy lies in the corner; it is the bas melech who rises and crosses to him. "Do you recognize me?" — and why recognition itself is its own avodah.

• **Why the Soul Knows the Way Out** — She is trapped, yet he asks her how to escape. She is the chelek eloka mima'al — the part of you that never forgets the way home.

• **The Tzaddik Is Made by Falling** — There is no such thing as a tzaddik who was born finished. What makes a tzaddik is getting up one more time — and taking responsibility for others, the way the viceroy took on the king's pain.

• **Fitting Your Life Into Hashem** — We try to fit Hashem into our lives instead of fitting our lives into His. Why the bas melech can never be found in the corners of a schedule built without her.

• **The Remedy: Kovea Makom** — Choose yourself a place — and choose the place you are actually in. Modeh Ani as the doorway into five minutes of hisbodedus.

• **The Last Day: Don't Fall Asleep** — The last day is Erev Rosh Hashanah; its final minute is the first minute of the new year. The apple, the spiritual slumber, and the cost of checking out when you are closest.

• **Amalek Is Safek** — Amalek's gematria is safek. Doubt is the engine of yeush — and the Rebbe's answer: make a tefillah out of the doubt itself.
