Bilvavi | December 31, 2025

QUESTION
5) It is written in sefer Shomer Emunim that most of the souls in our generation are reincarnations of “Erev Rav”, and therefore, ever person needs to suspect that maybe he is from the “Erev Rav”, and that is why every person needs to work a lot on emunah, so that he can repair his soul. Is this the actual perspective which each person needs to have? Most people would probably become depressed from such a view towards themselves.
Does it mean that every person needs to suspect that he might have a spark of “Erev Rav” in his soul? Or does one need to suspect that he may actually be an “Erev Rav” soul?

ANSWER
One needs to suspect that he may have some “sparks” of “Erev Rav” in his soul. Because there are certainly sparks of “Erev Rav” in every person’s soul, as you said.
