B"H

Kislev 18, 5766 * December 19, 2005

=======================
"T O D A Y ' S D A Y"
=======================

Wednesday, Kislev 18 5704

Torah lessons: Chumash: Vayeishev, Revi'i with Rashi.
Tehillim: 88-89.
Tanya: "You shall reprove (p. 631)...parallel to the
other...(p.633).

No Tachanun at Mincha.

The Tzemach Tzedek writes: The love expressed in "Beside You I wish for nothing," (1) means that one should desire nothing other than G-d, not even "Heaven" or "earth" i.e. Higher Gan Eden and Lower Gan Eden, for these were created with a mere Yud... (2).

The love is to be directed to Him alone, to His very Being and Essence.

This was actually expressed by my master and teacher (3) (the Alter
Rebbe) when he was in a state of D'veikut (4) and he exclaimed as
follows:
I want nothing at all! I don't want Your Gan Eden, I don't
want Your Olam Haba... I want nothing but You alone.

GOOD YOM TOV.
MAY YOU BE INSCRIBED AND SEALED FOR A GOOD YEAR IN THE STUDY OF CHASSIDUS AND THE WAYS OF CHASSIDUS

Footnotes: (1) Tehillim 73:25.
(2) The Divine Essence-name, Havayeh (the Tetragrammaton),
is source of all creation. Olam haba, spiritual
Hereafter, including Gan Eden, was created from the
first (and smallest) letter - Yud - of the Name.
(3) After "...teacher" there appears in the Hebrew the
expression "may his soul rest in Eden."
(4) Ecstatic, cleaving devotion to G-d. See Sh'vat 23.
