Hayom Yom

ט׳ אדר ב׳

Tuesday Adar Sheini 9 * 5703

Chumash: Vayikra, Shlishi with Rashi.

Tehillim: 49-54.

Tanya: For this purpose (p. 165)...of blessed memory. (p. 165).

In the B'racha Borei Nefashot (p. 95), say Al Kol Ma Shebarata, "Kol" with a Cholam, not a Kamatz.

The intense longing to be bound closely [1] (to a Rebbe) can be satisfied only by learning Maamarim of Chassidus which the Rebbe delivers as oral discourses and writes down; simply seeing him [2] is not enough.

Notes:

On this day, in 5700 (1940), the Previous Rebbe o.b.m. arrived in the U.S.A.

day marks the essential beginning of the `dissemination of the wellsprings (of chassidus) to the outside' in this lower hemisphere"; a quotation - according to the memory of a listener - from the Rebbe Sh'lita, from a Sicha of Shabbat Parshat Tetzaveh, 5745 (1985), in which the great significance and import of the day is explained at length.

See Sivan 24.

Lit. "Beholding his face."
