Day 24 of the Omer

מוֹרֵנוּ הַבַּעַל שֵׁם טוֹב אָמַר

Our master, the Baal Shem Tov, taught:

כָּל דָּבָר וְדָבָר אֲשֶׁר הָאָדָם רוֹאֶה אוֹ שׁוֹמֵעַ

“Whatever a person sees or hears

הוּא הוֹרָאַת הַנְהָגָה בַּעֲבוֹדַת הַשֵּׁם

is a directive for his service of G‑d.

וְזֶהוּ עִנְיַן הָעֲבוֹדָה

This is what Divine service consists of —

לְהָבִין וּלְהַשְׂכִּיל מִכֹּל דֶּרֶךְ בַּעֲבוֹדַת הַשֵּׁם

understanding and deducing a way to serve G‑d from everything [one sees or hears].”
