Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz: The Relationship Between Body and Soul

Rabbi Steinsaltz opens by discussing the definition of the biblical word "nefesh." He then elaborates on the symbiotic coexistence between the soul and body, drawing on sources from the Torah and Midrash. He closes by presenting a Talmudic parable that attempts to analogize the teamwork of a blind and lame man to the powerful combination of the soul and body.
