Chabad Inspiration Taste Of Tanya

Hi

Wishing you Gut Shabbos

This coming Tuesday is called Rosh Hashono Of Chassidus. The new year of Chassidus. The new year begins on the 19th of Kislev

Chassidim around the world wish each other a happy new year and May you inscribed for the learning of Chassidus and the ways of Chassidus

Chassidim celebrate the anniversary of the liberation of Rabbi Schneur Zalman, the founder of Chabad , from czarist Russian prison

Rabbi Schneur Zalman authored the Tanya. There he presents the Chabad philosophy

Amongst the many concepts:

1) Every  Jew has two souls

One soul is materialistic in it's desires

The second soul  is a part of G-d. Therefore each and every Jew is holy, G-dly, beloved. As the Torah says to the Jewish people: "You are children of  G-d"

A child is part of the father. The Jew is one with our father in heaven

2) Love every Jew unconditionally, Ahavat Yisroel,  is the all encompassing commandment because every Jew possess a G-dly soul and every Jew is truly holy

When we see life from this perspective, it is easy to have sincere Jewish unity. To celebrate the spirit and truth of a meaningful life reality

To prioritize soul over body

Holiness over mundane. Light over darkness

3) The  world is constantly being created by the creator with new energy  and new life

As such we always have the opportunity for new good beginnings, literally every moment

4) Divine Providence means that everything  in the universe is personally monitored by G-d

Nothing happens by chance

Everything is designed and orchestrated from above

As we say in Yiddish: Bashert. It’s meant to be

5) The purpose of creation is to infuse  the physical world with holy Divine energy

Revealing holiness in our world by using all we have for a life filled with  Torah and Mitzvot

Goodness, kindness and charity

 Successfully bringing heaven down to earth

Thereby we will merit a world healed from all the negative. No sickness, no evil, no war.  The resurrection of the dead.  We will see a world of Divine knowledge and peace,  hastening the time of Moshiach.

Gut Yom Tov

May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year infused with the ways and teachings of Chassidus!
