Sunday Kislev 27, Third Day of Chanuka, 5703
Chumash: Mikeitz, first Parsha, with Rashi. *
Tehillim: 120-134.
Tanya: Ch. 3. Now, each (p. 9)...and dread of Him (p. 11).
During the Alter Rebbe's second arrest [1] in 5561 (1800) he was not incarcerated as harshly as the first time. However the charges were more ominous for they were aimed at the doctrines of Chassidus and the opposition was intense. He was held in "Taini Soviet" prison and released on the Third Light of Chanuka.

See "On Learning Chassidus" Kehot, p. 24.
