יז סיון

Hayom Yom

Sometimes we think spirituality means escaping the world 🌍 or pushing away anything physical But this teaching says something deeper 🤍✨ Self-control and not chasing every desire can be a beautiful preparation but it’s not the goal. The real avoda is to take the physical world and make it holy Not run away from life but bring Hashem into it 💫 Into meals 🍞, conversations 🗣️, friendships, healing ❤️‍🩹, work, and ordinary moments. Maybe the question is not, How do I leave the world?

Maybe it’s, How do I bring more light into the life I’m already living? ✨

Sefer Hamitzvos

Don’t plant veggies/grain in a vineyard 🍇🌱.

Torah: Israel only. Sages: also applies in Diaspora.

טז סיון

Hayom Yom

Healing the soul is a lot like healing the body 🌱 You can’t really heal something if you don’t first understand what hurts ❤️‍🩹 Just like a doctor asks what’s wrong before giving medicine, we also have to gently ask ourselves, What am I struggling with? What’s underneath this? Sometimes the struggle comes from habits , pain, environment, or traits we want to work on. But healing begins with two things honest awareness 💛and believing change is possible ✨ Because struggling does not mean something is wrong with you 💙It might simply mean something inside you needs care. And maybe awareness is not failure maybe it’s the beginning of healing 💫

טו סיון

Hayom Yom

The Alter Rebbe’s teachings didn’t begin fully developed they grew over time ✨ At first, they were short teachings called d’rachim, brief words that touched the heart and woke something up inside a person ❤️ Then came igrot 💌, a little longer and more guiding. After that came torot 📖, deeper teachings that later became the foundation of Torah Or and Likutei Torah 💫 And later still came k’tavim ✍️broader, more developed explanations for the mind to fully understand. Maybe that’s the deeper lesson. growth unfolds in stages ❤️‍🩹 Sometimes we begin with just a spark ✨ A feeling. One sentence that moves us. And only later do we fully understand it 💭 Just like a tree grows slowly from a seed. first roots, then growth our souls also grow quietly, layer by layer 💙🫶

Cherem Rules

Dedicated items usually go to the Kohen, unless specified for the Mishkan.

Cherem items cannot be sold.

יג סיון

Hayom Yom

The Tzemach Tzedek didn’t only learn Torah he let it enter his soul 🎶📖 He learned out loud, with melody, and sometimes in the middle of learning Torah or writing Chassidus, he would suddenly pause and sing a niggun ✨ The Rebbe Maharash said something incredible, he could tell what the Tzemach Tzedek was learning just from the tune 🎼💫 The melody itself carried the message. And maybe that’s something really deep. Sometimes what fills a person’s soul naturally comes out Just like the trumpets in the desert carried different meanings gathering, war, movement different tones inside us also carry something. Joy ❤️ Longing 🌧️ Teshuvah 🙏 Hope 🌱 Struggle ❤️‍🩹

The Alter Rebbe said “Speech is the quill of the heart; song is the quill of the soul.” ✨ Sometimes words can explain something… but music reveals something deeper. A niggun reaches places words cannot. And maybe the lesson is this pay attention to your inner melody 🎶💭 What has your soul been singing lately? Because maybe closeness to Hashem is not only found in perfect words but in honest feeling, in pausing long enough to listen to what your soul is trying to say 💛✨

Sefer Hamitzvos

Nazirite end. Shave head ✂️, bring sacrifices 🐑

יב סיון

Hayom Yom

In the bracha of Shehakol, the yud in nih’yoh has a kamatz, not a segol.

“Cherish criticism, for it will place you on the true heights.” ✨

Criticism can hurt ❤️‍🩹 But sometimes the thing that hurts our ego is the exact thing helping our soul grow 💙. Not every criticism is right but honest feedback, especially from someone who cares ❤️, can help us see what we cannot see ourselves 💫

Maybe the true heights are not becoming perfect but becoming more honest, self-aware, and real ✨

Sefer Hamitzvos

Nazirite bans

No grape seeds 🌱

No grape peels 🍇

No same roof as corpse ⚰️

No ritual impurity, even for parents

יא סיון

Hayom Yom

Sometimes we feel spiritually cold ❤️‍🩹Like things make sense in our head 💭 but don’t reach our heart 🫀The Rebbe Rashab calls this a kind of spiritual “corpse” cold, disconnected, without warmth. But thank G-d, there is also techiyas hameisim spiritual revival ✨When a G-dly idea stops living only in the mind and finally touches the heart ❤️‍🔥 Something wakes up. Something frozen begins to thaw. Being cold doesn’t mean you’re stuck. Maybe warmth comes back slowly one class , one farbrengen 🔥, one sentence, one spark at a time 💫💙

Sefer Hamitzvos

Nazirites can’t have,

Wine or any grape drink 🍷❌

Fresh grapes 🍇❌

Raisins 🥠❌

י סיון

Hayom Yom

Maybe you’re already a lamp ✨🕯️

The Alter Rebbe taught that every Jew is like a lamp already holding the vessel, wick, oil, and potential ⚡️But even a good lamp needs to be lit 🔥 Sometimes the struggles ❤️‍🩹, inner battles ⛈️ , and hard moments are not only obstacles they become the spark 💫 The very thing that wakes up the G-dly fire inside of us 💛 Maybe you’re not empty.

Maybe you’re not broken. Maybe… you’re just waiting for the spark ✨

Sefer Hamitzvos

Commanded to use Torah procedure to annul vows. You can’t release yourself, but a sage, court , or husband/father 👨‍👩‍👧 can.

ט סיון

Hayom Yom

The world needs cleaner spiritual air too ✨🌍 And what purifies the atmosphere? Words of Torah. Even one Mishnah said by heart on the train 🚆, walking 🚶‍♀️, in ordinary moments can bring light into a place and strengthen our connection to Hashem 💫 Mishnah (משנה) has the same letters as Neshama (נשמה) soul 💛 Maybe holiness is not always loud. Maybe sometimes it looks like quietly carrying Torah with you through everyday life ❤️‍🩹✨

Sefer Hamitzvos

ח סיון

Hayom Yom

Maybe the deepest message of post-Shavuot is today’s hayom yom ✨Shavuot was the wedding at Har Sinai ⛰️💫 a moment of closeness, love, and inspiration 💛 But after the “wedding,” real life begins ⚡️The question becomes, Can I still choose the relationship? Because maybe Torah is not only something we receive once it’s something we choose again and again, even in ordinary moments 💙✨
