Concluding Ch. 41, we focus on the idea of serving Hashem altruistically.

Continuing Ch. 41, we discuss the necessity for all mitzvos to be done with some level of awe of Hashem and what specific intentions qualify as this awe. Conversely, it is not enough to serve Hashem with awe alone; one must also serve with love.

Starting Ch. 41 of Tanya and the "awe meditation."

Chapter 40 of Tanya concludes our discussion of kavanah (intent) and its effect on our mitzvos.

Finishing Chapter 39 and the discussion of the various levels of intent and the worlds to which they correspond.

We begin Ch. 39 in which we continue our discussion about the different levels of kavanah (intent.) What is the difference between instinctive and intellectual emotions?

Concluding Ch. 38, we discuss the two levels of kavanah (intent) that may accompany a mitzvah. One level is referred to as "human" while the other is called "animal."

We begin Ch. 38 and our discussion of the importance of kavanah in performing mitzvos.

We conclude Ch. 37 and our discussion of the importance of physical action as the means for transforming the physical world into a home for Hashem.

Continuing Ch. 37 and the explanation of how our physical mitzvos transform the world. We come to understand that the soul did not come to this world for its own fixing but rather to fix the world. We also learn why tzedaka is the quintessential mitzvah.
