Happy Shavuot!

From us here at CrownHeights.info we wish our readers a Happy and Kosher Shavuot! Along with the blessing of “Kabalas Hatorah Besimcha U’Bepimius”!



Hayom Yom for today:
On the eve of Shavuot 5557 (1797) the Alter Rebbe taught:

Sanctify them today and tomorrow and they shall cleanse their garments.1 “Sanctify them today and tomorrow,” is done from Above, but “they shall cleanse their garments” – one must do himself. This was the entire teaching.

The Tzemach Tzedek elaborated: “Sanctify them” was said by G-d to Moshe. The extension of Moshe is in every generation2 and they3 are able to sanctify the “today” and the “tomorrow”; but for this is needed “..and they shall cleanse their garments” – the garments of thought, speech and deed. This must be done by each person on his own.

Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe.
