“My God, the soul you placed within me is pure. You created it, You fashioned it, You breathed it into me, You safeguard it within me, and eventually You will take it from me, and restore it to me in the Time to Come. As long as the soul is within me, I gratefully thank You, Hashem, my God and the God of my forefathers, Master of all works, Lord of all souls. Blessed are you, Hashem, Who restores souls to dead bodies.” 

 

“This prayer we say each morning reminds us of our tremendous responsibility to use the time and resources Hashem has granted us and which He benevolently renews within us daily.

 

Each of us comes into this world with a specific mission to accomplish.

 

By aligning ourselves to His Will via Torah study, performing mitzvot and maasim tovim, we will be able to identify our mission and be granted all the resources we need to accomplish it.”
