the question was when a person
converts uh they receive a new Nish uh
where does the old Nish go so first of
all there is actually Aus a very
interesting makus in cabala how do we
understand the spiritual essence of a
convert some indeed look at it as a new
when you go to the Mikvah you're under
the Mikvah so when you emerge from the
Mikvah there's a new spiritual Essence
that comes into you that is one one
there's
another that a gar was born with a
Jewish Nish it's like a Jewish
n in a non-jewish
body he didn't get a new Nish rather
there is now a correspondence between
your body and your Nish your Nish is now
matched up with your gof to enable your
Nish to do the mitzvos that it needs for
its ticking because the mitzvos are
connected to the the Goof right words my
Jewish Nish in a non-jewish body cannot
do the mitzvos and that creates a lot
of now my body matches my that's why by
the way a number of G not everybody so
it's hard to empirically prove this they
describe a sense of unease from the time
they were young children I mean they of
for example the famous getic of vilna
didn't even know any Jews when he was a
little kid but every shabas he felt a
great deal of anxiety he didn't know why
he felt something was wrong meaning
there was something in him I spoke to
somebody today who he was not a g he was
actually a but he was born a Jew but he
was born into a very very very secular
family not even reform ethnical culture
which is to the extreme left of the
reform movement so reform would be K
reform and this is like uh you know real
real real out there and he mentioned
that from the time he was seven years
old he had this chronic anxiety of
feeling he was in the wrong place
feeling he didn't belong now there I
would say that's the yish coming out but
the MS is even non Jews have described
it that way so your question is not a
question if you follow the Sha that this
is the soul that he always had now but
if you learned the other way and people
do learn it the other way that it Mish
is a new
so the question is where does the old
Nish go so that's a hard question nishas
are not like trash that are recycled
essentially because nishas are aspects
of of God's breath so to speak even
non-jewish nishas so it simply gets
reabsorbed into the totality of God's
infinity and no longer has a sense of
individual identity it simply goes back
to its Shish and just gets reabsorbed in
to the msas msus hasem okay
