Themes: Review, crying while saying Shema, "I exist in a context," feeling our fragility and vulnerability, cleansing our eyes, this is all part of a necessary process of refinement - the peel before the fruit, these teachings give us a new soul, they are dangerous like Chemo is dangerous, Uman is a "soul hospital," the necessity of authenticity, an indicator that one was a tzaddik all along, only a true shomer habris can understand the Tzaddik's message, the fear of the misnagdim and why it didn't occur to the Baal Shem Tov.
