It is because we each have within us these two dynamics, that we have, (i) (-Sanhedrin 44a) “Even when (the Jewish people) have sinned, they are (still) ‘Israel,’” and, (ii) (-Tanya, Chapter 39) “For ultimately he is bound to do repentance… ‘Because none is rejected by Him.’” More so, it is specifically because of the unconditional bond of the essence of our soul, that ultimately, we will all be brought to, “draws them close to Torah.” For it is only through the Torah that the soul below reveals within itself the essence o
