#59: Paradise and Purgatory
Manage episode 340179383 series 1278585
Paradise and Purgatory, “Gehenom” and “Gan Eden” in Hebrew, are two potential destinations of the soul after a person dies. The righteous ones who have lived their lives in complete compliance with the rules, instructions, and guidance of the Torah are brought to Paradise, a venue of sublime, spiritual pleasure. The wicked who have sullied their Souls with sin during their lifetimes must undergo a process of Purgatory to cleanse their Souls from its blemishes. In this podcast we discuss the function, purpose, and nature of Paradise and Purgatory. We discover that although Purgatory may be a very unpleasant experience for the Soul, the capacity for cleansing and purging the Soul of its blemishes redounds to our benefit greatly.
