The mystery of the parah adumah teaches that true purity doesn’t come from staying above others, but from being willing to become tamei—stepping into their pain with them.

A powerful story of the Lubavitcher Rebbe shows how one act of heart can change a life—and that our hearts were placed on the left, not for ourselves, but so we can be closer to someone else’s right side.
