From “Commandment and Heart”
Rabbi Elimelech Bar Shaul
Man has two births:
One – by force and one – by thought;
One – by others and one – by himself
First – labour pains
Second – blessed by the pangs of creation
First – an event of its time
Second – continues all the days of man’s life
First – mainly the birth of the body
Second – in entirety the birth of the soul
First – he comes out of his mother’s womb into the air of the world
Second – his being is revealed
