Wednesday Cheshvan 19 5704
Torah lessons: Chumash: Chayei Sara, Revi'i with Rashi.
Tehillim: 90-96.
Tanya: Now this light (p. 577) ...are entirely one. (p. 579).

A response of the Alter Rebbe in a yechidus: Chassidus is Sh'ma Yisrael.1 The word sh'ma is an acronym of s'u marom eineichem, "Raise your eyes on high."2 The verse says "on high" (marom), and not "to the heavens" (shamayim). "On high" means higher and still higher, to attain a level beyond intellect, and grasp this itself intellectually - as the verse concludes, "and see Who created these."

Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory.

Mesirut nefesh -- Hebrew term for self sacrifice -- means both "giving of life" and "giving of will." Self sacrifice is not just the willingness to die for one's beliefs; it is the way in which one lives for them. It is the willingness to sacrifice one's "self" -- one's desires, one's preconceptions, one's most basic inclinations.
