Tuesday Adar Sheini 2 5703
Chumash: P'kudei, Shlishi with Rashi.
Tehillim: 10-17.
Tanya: And if G-d (p. 155)...will be explained later. (p. 155).
A B'racha must have a hold in something, [1] just as rain benefits only the plowed and sown field, and early and later heavy rains benefit the crops of field or vine. But a waste field, unplowed and unsown, will benefit from neither soft rain, nor the early or later heavy rains.
Notes:
A blessing has no effect in a vacuum.
