DAILY DOSE
Perpetual Struggle
By Tzvi Freeman
Some think life is all about doing good and keeping away from evil.
To them, struggle has no purpose of its own -- to have struggled
 is to have failed. Success,
they imagine, is a sweet candy with no trace of bitterness.
They are wrong, very wrong. Struggle is an opportunity to reach
 the ultimate, when darkness itself becomes light. In the midst
of struggle, an inner light is awakened. Light profound enough
 to overwhelm the darkness, encasing it and winning it over.
But if darkness never fights back, how will it ever be conquered?

Daily Dose
Everything Man is given comes in a finite package.
Even the tablets Moses carried down
from Mount Sinai were defined and bounded.
And so, when G-d saw Moses mourning over
 the broken tablets, He said, "Your powers were focused
 when you smashed the tablets. For now you will receive
 a Torah you may extend wider than the sea."
When Man fails, he shatters the treasures
G-d has put in his trust. But then he cries and
 picks up the shards to restore what he has ruined.
 That is when he discovers that G-d Himself was
 hidden inside. He discovers the Infinite.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman

GROWING EACH DAY
RABBI ABRAHAM J. TWERSKI
Moses assembled the Sanctuary (Exodus 40:18) ... The Glory of God filled the Sanctuary. (Exodus 40:34)
The Talmud describes in great detail how each component of the Sanctuary was fashioned,
 and that the completion of each component was a mitzvah. Nevertheless, the Divine Glory
did not descend until the component parts were assembled into the whole.
The 613 mitzvot of the Torah are indeed the essential parts, without which the structure
of a Torah life is impossible.However, they must be assembled into the ultimate whole,
 which is even greater than the sum of its parts.
In the past two centuries, the study of Torah works of mussar and chassidut were
 promoted by the great luminaries, Rabbi Yisroel of Salant and the Baal Shem Tov.
Both met with resistance by many Torah scholars, who argued that the study of the
 Scriptures and Talmud alone was an adequate guide to living a Torah life.
These two great sages realized that while previous generations could assemble
the component parts of the Torah into the desired whole, later generations required
additional help in doing so. Formal study of mussar and chassidus is essential
if people are to live a life that attests to the Glory of God.
Sometimes we may be disappointed in observing some people who are apparently
observant of Torah and yet do not lead exemplary lives. Invariably, these people do
not implement the teachings of mussar and chassidus, so that while they possess
the building blocks, they fail to assemble the structure of a Jewish life.

Today I shall ...
.. devote myself to the study of the ethics of Jewish living.
