• 1. 2 (independant) questions about Adam Harishon and his children (mco...@touchlogic.com)
• 2. Re: elul slichot (Akiva Miller)

1. According to the kabbalistic understanding that the only reason we have
multiple pple today is bc we are all just pieces of the soul of Adam
Harishon (that need tikun).
 
The original plan was one neshama  - Adam Harishon .
 
According to this if he didn't sin - what would be with his children from him and Chava?
none? no souls? souls but no free will?
 
 
2. After the sin, what happened to the many children (Gen 5:4) of Adam Harishon after the first 3?

I have not noticed any consistent community-wide practice. Some people put
their tallis and tefillin on before selichos, but most wait until beginning
shacharis. I presume that the reason is because that is when we put them on
all year.

I suppose that if one dons them prior to selichos, then one gains the
zechus of fulfilling the mitzvah d'Oraisa for a longer time, but whenever
one wears tefillin for extra time, he runs the risk of doing so with a guf
she'eino naki. Mishne Berura 37:7 does sanction wearing for a longer time
for "anshei maaseh", but I never felt it worth the risk.

Another reason to put them on before selichos is because some minyanim go
straight from selichos to shacharis with no time in between. My shul used
to be like that, but in recent years has allowed a couple of minutes for us
to put them on.
