answer to your question regarding multiple soul mates:
Please feel free to watch the class on soul mates on Chabad.org from Rabbi Plotkin which I believe will answer your question on Soul Mates. Reply

I have a question on soul mates and second marriages I watched you and your husband on the video of the five love languages, and wanting more, I found this one.
My first marriage, sadly, since I had a son, end due to physical abuse. I lost custody of my 6yo son as condition to receive a Get.
I remarried 13 years ago, and I believe that he is a soul mate. So many things had to come together for us to even meet that Hashem had to have done it, I realize my first marriage was to bring my son into the world. He is married to his soul mate, & have 3 lovely children.

So, is it really possible that we have more than one soul mates? Could I be right that the first was to create my son who is my only child. I am now 64 & current husband is 72 so no way we'll have children. So, can there be more than one soul mate for a 2nd marriage? Reply

OUCH! I really learned so much from this lecture! Thanks Goldi! My 4 children and I spend a lot of time with mitzvot because we recognize our responsibility and honestly have a passion for Tikun Olam. My husband of 15 years is a workaholic and isn't with us most of the time. He is a good man and does what he can when he can. We recently got into an arguement because I was telling him all the things that he could improve on.....ouch! After listening to your lecture, I really need to look at me...ouch again! Thank you for your wonderful insights. Blessings! Reply

the disposable world You hit the nail on the head Goldie.
Good to hear, again, that we Are a heavily influenced product of our environment.
We do live in a disposable society
But! as Torah Jews we must be reminded OFTEN that what makes us Torah Jews is because of what we kept, keep and will cling to!
Like money, we are wealthy because of what we get to keep, not because of how much we get to spend.
We are rich because of the Torah we kept.
So grateful. Reply
