"People always ask: 'How do I find my soulmate?' š§ Rabbi Yitzchak Botton suggests we might be asking the wrong question. Instead of chasing a mystical 'soulmate' - an idea often hidden from us, we should focus on a more practical reality: Is this person right for me? @RabbiYitzchakBotton #judaism #jewishwisdom #jewishthought #jewishmarriage #marriage #soulmate #rabbi #rabbiyitzchakbotton #hidabroot

People always ask, you know, how do I
find my soulmate? How do I know that the
person is my soulmate? So, the truth is,
to really give you the proper advice,
you have to know that
you can't really have a goal of of of
finding your soulmate because
that idea is really hidden from you. You
can't tell if that person is your
soulmate. So, what you really have to
tell is is this person right for me? Are
we going to make a a good a good couple?
Are we going to, you know, be able to
make this work? If you get a person that
drives you crazy,
you know, and that you're going to fight
all your life, but the the Kabbalist
tells you, "Oh, but you're soulmate."
So, what are you going to do? You're
going to marry her and live miserably
ever after? That's not the solution. So,
I think that we should focus less on who
our soulmate is and focus on finding the
right person for us. And hopefully, God
will take care of his part, which is
getting you your soulmate, and you pick
the right one and it'll be your
soulmate. That's the
best answer to that question.
