The term "breath of life" in Hebrew is "nishmas chayim", with "nishmas" being a form of the word "neshama". The term "living soul" in Hebrew is "nefesh chaya", with "nefesh" being the part of the soul connected with physicality and animation. There is a third part, called "ruach" (meaning "wind"), that is the intermediate portion of the soul, between where it "leaves the lips of G-d" and "comes to rest in the body".Baruch Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996475412403160519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917230819240247395.post-23118725126898792822010-04-19T12:35:57.165-07:002010-04-19T12:35:57.165-07:00I found the definition of neshama to be very inter...I found the definition of neshama to be very interesting.
