Jewish History

The 12th of Tishrei is the yahrtzeit (anniversary of the passing) of Rabbi Abraham (1740-1776) the son of Rabbi DovBer of Mezeritch and study partner of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi; known as "Rabbi Abraham the Angel" for his saintliness and ascetism.

Laws and Customs

Tachnun (confession of sins) and similar prayers are omitted.

Daily Thought

All of Jewish philosophy is but an attempt to fit inside the human mind that which is contained within the heart of a simple Jew.

It will never fit.

But you must learn, contemplate, and ponder with your mind, nevertheless. Perhaps, once aware of its inadequacy, your mind will awaken the heart from its slumber.

Hayom Yom, 19 Shvat.
