Additional Souls

B"H

Most of us know that every Jew does get an additional soul (the Neshama Yetera) on Shabbat. Some sources say that the Neshama Yetera enters our body on Erev Shabbat and according to other kabbalistic and chassidic sources, this neshama already enters our body on Wednesday.

However, a few weeks ago, I read a great comment from the Sefat Emet (one of the former Gerer Rebbes) on the Shemittah year. According to him do we not only get the Neshama Yetera on Shabbat but also during the whole Shemittah year.

Shabbat Shalom
