Quote by Yiddish Proverb

What soap is for the body, tears are for the soul.

What soap is for the body, tears are for the soul.

Summary

This quote suggests that tears serve a similar purpose for the soul as soap does for the body. Just as soap cleanses and refreshes the physical body, tears are seen as a means to cleanse and heal the emotions and the soul. Tears can be a form of release, allowing for the expression of deep emotions and providing a cathartic effect. Similar to how soap restores cleanliness and purity to the body, tears can offer a sense of emotional purification and rejuvenation to the soul.
