Loved with heart and soul, with heart and soul

Loved with heart and soul, with heart and soul

Loved him deeply with a love involving a profound emotional and spiritual connection (the expression originates from the Torah, e.g., Deuteronomy 6:5: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might").

("The first priest, who taught Torah, is called the artisan who built the Temple with heart and soul through teaching Torah." – R’ Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin, Pri Tzadik, Bereishit for Hanukkah; also: "For in saying 'with all your heart and all your soul,' the secret of love dependent on heart and soul is included." – Tzeror HaMor, Devarim 3; also: "And the women were devoted to him with heart and soul… for indeed he was a handsome young man… a man of proper conduct." – Shalom Aleichem / Rofeim, 218)
