DonateLaundering the Mitzvah garments: Torah Or p. 74b-79b
It does not suffice to simply fulfill the daily Mitzvah’s in order to gain the soul garments, and in addition one must also serve/Oved G-d in the process, which comes from the wording of Ibud Oros, or tanning skin. The Mitzvah’s, like garments, must be washed and laundered from all stains and impurities in order so it be white and clean. This spiritual laundering of the Mitzvah’s is fulfilled through one working on his character, and turning darkness into light and bitterness into sweetness through transforming his animalistic emotions to emotions that are used for serving G-d. This itself is accomplished through the help of Moshe who is a faithful shepherd who feeds the Jewish soul the spiritual fodder it needs to accomplish this. This is also accomplished through the rigorous study of Torah to sift and verify practices of Jewish law, known as Libun Hilchasa, or laundering the Halacha. This is also accomplished through prayer which is an opportune time for one to contemplate matters of G-d to help elevate the Torah and Mitzvah’s of that day, as the Torah and Mitzvah’s of each day are elevated through the daily prayer.
