Who is the "I" according to Judaism?
Hello Rabbi,
I wanted to ask, according to Judaism, who is the "I" in the sense of the experiencing, thinking, and feeling I?
Is it defined as a mind? As a soul? As something else?
Until today I thought this was the soul, but it turns out that with the blessing of God's soul, we see that this is not the case.
As it is said , " My God, the soul that You have put in me" – meaning that I am not the soul.
And so " You breathed it into me " – the soul is not me.
So then who is the self?!? ?

There is no such thing as "I" according to Judaism. Who is "Judaism"? Are you asking what the Torah writes? Nothing. Toshvet? Nothing. Therefore, you are left to think and formulate a position for yourself, without any connection to Judaism. Of course, all of this is a semantic question, because the question depends on what you define as a soul or mind in terms of thinking or feeling.
Beyond that, you can also interpret the phrase "I am" as a soul that you gave to my body, and I created "myself" which is soul + body. But I don't see much point in such a discussion. There is no way to determine the meaning of the concepts here.
