כו שבט

Hayom Yom

Ahava is the oxygen of Chassidus 💨❤️the love that binds chassidim to each other and to their Rebbe 🔗✨,when we choose to initiate warmth and also allow ourselves to receive it 🤍, we bring life into our avoda, because without love, nothing truly lives. 🔥

Sefer Hamitzvos

Teaching Torah isn’t just passing on information it’s taking responsibility for a soul . That’s why we’re commanded to learn it deeply and clearly, until it lives inside us and feels natural on our lips 🔥because you can only give over what you’ve truly internalized. When Torah shapes you first, the way you teach it gives others direction, identity, and steady clarity in a confusing world 🌍 ✨.

כד שבט

Hayom Yom

“The people saw and moved.” (Yisro כ, טו )

When something holy becomes truly real to you ✨, it moves you because real connection to Hashem doesn’t leave you unchanged; it awakens your heart and soul into life and motion 🌊❤️.

As the Tzemach Tzedek said, “If you only knew the power of Tehillim and what they accomplish in the highest Heavens, you would say them constantly.” ✨ Tehillim isn’t just poetry/songs even a quiet, tired, or brokenhearted whisper rises straight to Hashem and brings real compassion into the world, your words are never small, and your whisper truly matters.

Sefer Hamitzvos

If someone's doing wrong, tell them nicely.

No shaming Don't embarrass others, be kind 👥.

כג שבט

Hayom Yom

“Go Out and See” When Humility Becomes a Crown 👑🌙

One mitzvah can bind two people as “mine” 🤍 but every mitzvah binds us to Hashem infinitely 🔗✨, true closeness comes from stepping out of ego, living Malchut the quiet strength of humility and receptivity 🌙 and becoming a vessel where G-dliness can dwell, a hidden royalty that will one day be revealed 👑💫.

Sefer Hamitzvos

Don't test Hashem's prophets, trust them.

Be like Hashem, be kind and gracious ❤️.

Hang with wise people, learn from them

“Love your fellow as yourself” means taking the care, sensitivity, and awareness you naturally give your own inner world 🫶🧠 and extending it outward pausing before reacting ⏸️, protecting dignity 👤✨, choosing empathy over ego ❤️ because how you treat others is shaped by how deeply you know and care for yourself

כב שבט

Hayom yom

Torah אמת

Laws made by us humans bend with life, Torah stands above it an eternal truth that shapes the person, not the moment ✨. Torah doesn’t follow chaos, it gives clarity, direction, and an unshakable inner anchor ⚓ 🧭. Living by Torah means choosing who you are meant to become, not what you feel right now and that choice is what creates life 🌱🔥.

Sefer Hamitzvos

Don't dishonor Hashem’s Name, no hypocrisy 🚫.

Protect sacred spaces, like Torah scrolls 📜.

Listen to prophets, if they don't contradict Hashem's laws 📖.

יט שבט

Hayom Yom

The first mitzvah teaches that belief isn’t enough ❤️we’re asked to know Hashem 🧠✨, to choose understanding over autopilot , so faith grows from something we inherit into something steady, mature, and lived with clarity every day .

Sefer Hamitzvos

Preparation steps aren’t counted as mitzvot only the main action itself counts 🛠️➡️✨.

A mitzvah with multiple parts is still one mitzvah, not many (like the Four Species) 🌿🍋.

The details and components of a mitzvah don’t become separate mitzvot they serve one goal 🥅 .

How often or how long a mitzvah is done doesn’t increase the count frequency doesn’t create new mitzvot ⏳➡️1️⃣.

Punishments are counted by type of action, not per sin the act is one mitzvah, even if it applies in many cases ⚖️.

יח שבט

Hayom Yom

The maamar Umareihem Uma’asseihem was the very first Mamer the Maggid said when he became leader of the chassidim, on Shavuot 5521 (1761) ✨.

The Alter Rebbe didn’t hear it directly from the Maggid, but from R. Mendel Horodoker and later re-explained the same maamar in his own unique style, continuing the flow of Torah through generations✨.

Sefer Hamitzvos

General “umbrella” commands like “keep My covenant” guide everything but aren’t counted as separate mitzvot ☂️.

Explanations or reasons for mitzvot don’t count as mitzvot themselves only the actual action does 💡➡️🛠️.

If a command includes both doing and not doing, each side is counted separately (positive and negative) ➕➖.

Different forms of the same mitzvah (for different situations or people) are still one mitzvah .

Not every use of the word לא means a prohibition only clear “don’t do” commands are counted 🚫.

Even if a mitzvah appears many times in the Torah, it’s only counted once unless it teaches a new action 🔁➡️

יז שבט

Hayom Yom

On Shabbat Bshalach, there is a special custom to eat black buckwheat 🌾. A deep teaching and a specific maamar. The same maamar was said on Shabbat Bshalach across generations by the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mezritch, the Alter Rebbe, and later the Tzemach Tzedek ✨. Each Rebbe received the same teaching, added a deeper layer, and passed it on not changing it, but revealing it more 🌊➡️🌟.

Short Bite on Kriyat Yam Suf

Kriyat Yam Suf teaches that the greatest miracles aren’t always about changing the outside world 🌊but about breaking through what feels stuck inside us 💔➡️🌱, when we move forward with trust, a hidden path can open where none seemed to exist ✨👣

Sefer Hamitzvos

Only mitzvot written directly in the Torah are counted in the 613 not Mitzva Derabanan ones like Chanukah or Hallel .

Laws learned only from hints or wordplay in psukim aren’t counted unless the Torah states them clearly .

Only mitzvot that apply for all generations are counted not ones that were temporary or historical ⏳➡️🌍

טז שבט

Hayom yom

The Rebbe Rashab teaches that the real danger isn’t doubt but coldness ❄️ because Hashem is a fire 🔥, and Torah and tefillah are meant to be alive and felt ❤️‍🔥, when we serve with warmth and heart, not just habit, our soul stays connected and burning with meaning ✨.

Sefer hamitzvos

Rambam wrote Sefer hamitzvos to create one clear, accurate map of the 613 mitzvot using precise principles to define exactly what counts not to explain how to do them, but to show what they are and why they’re included.✨🫶

טו שבט

The Chassidim asked the Tzemach Tzedek to publish his commentaries on Torah Or 📖, he first refused 🙅‍♂️, then after both he and his sons had the same dream from the Alter Rebbe ✨, he agreed and the book was published as Likutei Torah 🌟📚.

Part 1 mentioned I refer back to ג שבט Hayom Yom.

Sefer Hamitzvos

Kohanim give speech to Soldiers who're distracted step back.

Short Bite on Tu B’Shvat

Tu B’Shvat teaches that spiritual life comes from staying connected to our source Torah, just like a tree needs its roots to live. 🍃

Our purpose is not only to grow ourselves, but to help others grow too 🍎➡️🌳.

Torah is both survival and pleasure we need the basics, but we also need the warmth and depth of Chassidus to feel alive 💧🍯✨.

In our generation, Yiddishkeit can’t be cold or on autopilot it needs heart, joy, and meaning ❤️🔥.

Just like Torah Or and Likutei Torah, light keeps unfolding when we stay connected, Torah doesn’t stay on the page, it becomes nourishment inside us 🌟📚➡️🌿.

Blessing you this Tu B’Shvat bless you with deep roots and constant growth 🌱, warmth and joy in your Yiddishkeit ❤️, and a heart that stays connected to its Source so your life keeps bearing sweet, living fruit in Torah and in light. 🍎✨
