Coming Home: Chapter 1
| January 11, 2022“You could probably study all day and all night, like those religious Jews.”

There are many, many lost souls wandering this planet. Jews who have no idea that they are raw gold, endowed with a piece of Hashem inside them. They live their lives as if they are gentiles, most don’t have the slightest clue who they truly are. It is everyone’s duty to reach out to these lost souls, each in their own way, according to their abilities. And of course, the greater the person, the greater the responsibility — and ability — to save these wandering Jews while they still have life inside of them. So, it should come as no surprise that the holy Baal Shem Tov was renowned for his ability to track down the most distant, clueless Jewish soul, reignite his spiritual fire, and bring him back home to the world of Torah and mitzvos.
Somewhere in an elite seminary in France, where the children of the most powerful and wealthy aristocrats and world leaders were educated, wandered one of these lost souls. His name was Pierre Louis. His Jewish name was unknown, even to himself. He was smart, likable, and had a knack for connecting with the most powerful students in the French institution.
One day, while he was studying alone, he noticed another student poring over a pile of books that lay before him on the thick wooden table. Pierre watched the other student for a few moments, before deciding to walk over and make his introduction.
“Hello, I’m sorry to bother you. My name is Pierre. It looks like you are delving into something very deeply. Looks interesting. Care to share?”
