אַ מעֶנְטשׁ דאַרף מַרְבֶּה זַיין אִין זאָגעֶן אוֹתִיּוֹת הַתּוֹרָה (זאָגעֶן תְּהִלִּים, חַזֶרְ'ן מִשְׁנָיוֹת) וועֶן אוּן וואוּ עֶר קעֶן, בִּכְדֵי צוּ שְׁטאַרְקעֶן דעֶם קִיּוּם הָעוֹלָם, בִּכְדֵי מַצִּיל צוּ זַיין זִיך פוּן חִבּוּט הַקֶּבֶר אוּן כַּף הַקֶּלַע, אוּן זוֹכֶה זַיין צוּ אַלעֶ העֶכְסטעֶ גִלּוּיִם.
One should verbalize “the letters of the Torah” profusely — saying Tehillim and reviewing Mishnayos — whenever and wherever he can, in order to strengthen the continued existence of the world, to protect himself from chibut hakever1 and kaf hakela,2 and to merit the highest revelations.3
Living as a Chassid
Whoever saw the Rebbe walking between his home and “770”4 remembers that his lips were always moving, for he was constantly reciting words of Torah or prayer. The Rebbe expected similar conduct of his chassidim, each on his own level. In fact, even children are encouraged to study Mishnayos, Tanya, and other texts by heart. Maintaining a reservoir of Torah knowledge in one’s mind enables one to repeat Torah words continuously.
