Crowned by Divine Will - Unplugged

Av 4  5785 - Adopted from todays Tanya, Iggeret HaKodesh 1


Who gives strength to the core of who we are?
The part that carries everything. Holds us up. Keeps us from collapsing.

It’s not luck.
It’s not muscle.
It’s the Torah Sheba’al Peh, the Oral Torah.

The living wisdom of G‑d.
A wisdom that doesn’t just speak. It moves.

But wisdom? That’s just the surface.
Go deeper and you find the source.
The Divine Will. Pure desire. Beyond thought. Beyond limits.

This Will, it wraps around you. Like a shield. Like a crown.
Lifting you above everything you thought you knew.

That’s why our sages said:
Study halachot. Every day.
Because this isn’t just learning.
It’s girding your soul.
Strengthening your foundation.
So you can move, act, and love.

It wakes up the arms of the soul,
The awe. The love. The reach for G‑d.
Born from deep understanding… or from simple, raw faith.

Morning prayer?
That’s your best shot.
That sacred window when compassion flows and the Divine Will leans toward you.

So, I’m telling you, no, I’m begging you:
Understand this. Remember it. Live it.
Let it stay between your eyes.
Pray with everything you’ve got.
Pour yourself out like water in front of the Infinite.
Push until nothing separates you.
Nothing.

Awakening to Being Chosen - Tanya, I"H 1

  B”H Awakening to Being Chosen Av 3  5785 - Adopted from todays Tanya, Iggeret HaKodesh 1 Introduction to this section of the Tanya: There are moments when words do more than inform us; they open gateways. The sons of the Alter Rebbe understood this. In their sacred approbation to the Tanya , they revealed that what we now know as Iggeret Hakodesh (The Holy Epistle) and Kuntres Acharon (Later Pamphlet) were born not out of intellectual exercise, but out of intimate connection, each word written by the Alter Rebbe’s own hand, each phrase pulsing with the energy of his soul’s purpose. These were not simply letters. They are living transmissions, invitations to align with the path of the soul, to embody the deeds that transform life itself into service. So they bound these letters together with the Tanya, because they are one continuous unfolding,  a single energetic stream designed to orient us back to our essence. The very first letter centers on an ancient custom that...

When the Heart Trembles and the Soul Sings - Tanya Tammuz 27 5785

Image
  B”H Tanya Tammuz 27 5785 Adopted from https://www.jewishmalibu.com/dailystudy/tanya_cdo/jewish/Tanya.htm#lt=primary There is a reason prayer cannot simply be an act of words. Prayer is the soul’s song of return . And not just any return, but the higher kind of return, the one that feels like stepping back into the arms of your own essence. This is called Teshuvah ilaah , a reunion with the highest part of yourself, the part that has never left Source. But there is a doorway before that. The lower return. The return born of raw honesty, of the moment you let yourself feel how far you have strayed from the wholeness you crave. This is Teshuvah tataah . It is the breaking open. The trembling of a heart that admits: I need You. I cannot do this alone. This is why the sages taught: Do not enter worship casually. Enter it earnestly. Rashi’s words whisper through time: Humility. The humility that comes when you stop pretending you are already whole and let your brokenness breathe. You ...

Coins of Light - Tanya IH 3

  B"H Coins of Light: Building Your Spiritual Armor Through Tzedaka Av 7  5785 - Adopted from todays Tanya, Iggeret HaKodesh 3 “He put on righteousness like a coat of armor and salvation like a crown.” (Yeshayahu / Isaiah 59:18) The sages teach us something astonishing: Think of a suit of armor. It isn’t one solid plate. It’s made of hundreds of tiny scales, each one seemingly insignificant on its own. But when they overlap, they form an impenetrable shield. So it is with Tzedaka . Every coin, every act of kindness, no matter how small, weaves into something vast and eternal, a spiritual armor protecting you, embracing you. But this is not just about protection from harm. This armor is alive. It is woven from a Divine energy that transcends creation itself, the Infinite Light, what the Zohar calls Sovev Kol Almin , a light so boundless it cannot be contained within any world. When you give, you are not just performing a kind gesture. You are aligning with the very desire of ...
