Kad Yavsin {Song}

Here is another very holy song from the Zohar Hakadosh.  Enjoy!

When the Jewish people immerse themselves in the joy of studying Torah, the Holy One Blessed is He, Says to all His heavenly hosts: Look! Look! at my beloved children as they forget their own sufferings and immerse themselves in my loving Torah. ~ Zohar

כד יתבון ישראל ועוסקין בשמחת התורה
קודשא ברוך הוא אומר לפמליא דיליה
חזו בני חביבי
דמשתכחין בצערא דילהון ועוסקין בחדותא דילי

A Chassidic Melody

A chassidic melody fortifies hope and trust, brings joy, and places the entire household home and family in a state of light. ~ R; Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of Lubavitch zt”l

Last Friday, right before Shabbos, I listened to Kah Echsof which was posted here earlier that day (https://emunadaily.com/2014/11/14/ka-echsof-song/). What a way to go into Shabbos.  Tomorrow I have another melody to share which could also potentially bring you to new heights.

How do you measure success?

The word chatas, which we translate as sin, should be translated in a different manner. It doesn’t mean sin; of course it is a sin. What it means is failure.

Chatas means a failure in life. A failure to achieve. And that’s the biggest of all sins. We are not in this world merely to avoid doing bad deeds. ~ R’ Avigdor Miller zt”l

Just One Prayer

One song can change a moment

One idea can change a world

One step can start a journey

But One Prayer can change even the impossible

Writing Loshon Hora

The transgression of loshon hora can be committed through speech or writing.  Derogatory information in personal letters, [emails,] books, newspapers, circulars, and wall posters constitute loshon hora. ~ Guard Your Tongue

The Lubavitcher Rebbe at Age 5

The children gathered around the tree and commented to each other how high it was, and how exciting it would be to climb to the top. They opted to play a game to see who could climb to the top of the tree without falling. Among the participating children was five-year-old Menachem Mendel, the future Lubavitcher Rebbe. His mother, Rebbetzin Chana, observed the children as they played.

All the other boys succeeded, at best, to reach halfway up the tree before falling, while Menachem Mendel reached the top.

Later, his mother asked him, “Mendel, how did you succeed to reach the top when the other children failed?”

“It was easy,” answered the child. “The other children kept looking down, and as soon as they realized how high they were, they became dizzy and fell. I, however, looked only upward. When I saw how low I was, I kept going higher and higher until I reached the top.” ~  Adapted from Yimei Melech as quoted in Chicken Soup to Warm the Neshama

Do you believe him?

I don’t understand it.  If a person says that he is feeling sick, he is not always believed.  If a person says that he is poor, he is not readily believed.  Yet, if a person declares that he is a sinner, everyone is all too eager to believe him and hold him accountable! ~ R’ Chaim Sanzer zt”l

True Peace of Mind

Why was the Torah given in the wilderness at Mount Sinai and not in the calm and peacefulness of Israel?  This is to teach us that true peace of mind doesn’t come from physical comforts, but from an awareness of one’s ultimate life goals.  When you focus on this, you are constantly traveling toward your goal and will never be overly disturbed or broken. ~ R’ Yerucham Levovitz zt”l
