In this class on Sichos HaRan 73 and 74, we learn about how to "blow up our soul balloon" by not rushing to share good deeds or spiritual attainments with others. We also explore the concept of "k'illu", "as if", discovering how pretending to be interested in davening, or as if we are happy, can have a major practical impact on how we are truly feeling.
