Lost...

Rav Simcha Wasserman zt'l taught that the mitzvah of kiruv falls under the category of Hashavas Aveidah, the mitzvah of returning a lost object.  I've read this in his name and also personally asked Rabbi Akiva Tatz (co-author of the book Rav Simcha Speaks) about this and he confirmed it for me.

So, here's my question, if Hashavas Aveidah can be applied to a person, then can I recite the tefillah of Rav Meir Baal HaNeis and give tzedakah in hope of finding myself?

  1. Well, if what you lost was the ability to pray and give tzedaqah...

  2. As to what I lost, it's mostly the idealistic confident person who was true to himself.
    More on this later in the week.
