The Zohar and the Talmud say that the light that is revealed and drawn by a person that answers Amen
 to a blessing is greater than the one that says the blessing. The reason is that with the word Amen,
we use two names of G-d and with the blessing use only one name. Every Amen we say creates
an angel that carries the light down. Angel in Hebrew is " Molech " and it is also equal to 91.

DAILY DOSE:
Good Citizens
"Destroy Man’s desire to sin" our sages tell us, "and you would destroy the world."
Not that anyone needs to sin. But one who lacks the desire to sin is not a citizen of this world.
And without citizens, who will effect lasting change?.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman


   
GROWING EACH DAY
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski  
The memory of a righteous person is a blessing (Proverbs 10:7).
At a family therapy session, one family member said something totally uncalled for, provocative,
 and insulting to another person. The remark was extremely irritating to me, even as an observer,
 and I anticipated an explosive outburst of outrage from the recipient To my great surprise, the latter
 remained quiet and merely gestured to indicate that he was dismissing the comment as being unworthy of a response.
After the session, I complimented the man on his self-restraint. He explained, "A friend of mine once had
a very angry outburst. During his rage he suffered a stroke from which he never regained consciousness.
"I am not afraid that if I become angry I would also suffer a stroke. However, what I and everyone else remember
 of my friend are the last words of his life, which were full of bitterness and hostility. That is not the way I wish to
 be remembered. Since no person can know exactly when one's time is up, I made up my mind never to act in such
 a manner, so that if what I was doing was to be my last action on earth, I would not be remembered that way."
The Talmud tells us that when Rabbi Eliezer told his disciples that a person should do teshuvah one day before his death,
 they asked, "How is a person to know when one will die?" Rabbi Eliezer answered, "Precisely! Therefore one should do
teshuvah every day, since tomorrow may be one's last day."
The verse cited above may be explained in the same way.
People should behave in a way that they would wish others to remember them, for that can indeed be a blessing.
Today I shall ...
.. behave as though this day is the one by which I shall be remembered.

DAILY DOSE:
Reprisal
Do kindness beyond reason.
Defy terror with beauty.
Combat darkness with infinite light.

Creating a Need for Wisdom
By Tzvi Freeman
I
f G–d had made a perfect world, what need would there be for wisdom?
So He left shattered vessels for us to repair. And in doing so, we engage a wisdom deeper
than that which fashioned the earth, the sun and the stars.

Growing Each Day: (Excerpts):
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski
If you return, O Israel ... you shall return unto Me (Jeremiah 4:1).
Elul, a period of time which is particularly propitious for teshuvah,
for it precedes Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Judgment.
The Sages say that the Hebrew letters of the word Elul, form an acrostic
for the verse in
Song of Songs: I am devoted to my Lover and He is devoted
to me (6:3).
Song of Songs utilizes the relationship between a bridegroom and
his betrothed to depict the relationship between God and Israel. Any separation
between the two causes an intense longing for one another, an actual "lovesickness" (ibid. 2:5).
The love between God and Israel is unconditional. Even when Israel behaves in a manner
 that results in estrangement, that love is not diminished. Israel does not have to restore God's love,
because it is eternal, and His longing for Israel to return to Him is so intense that at the first sign
that Israel is ready to abandon its errant ways that led to the estrangement, God will promptly embrace it
.
Song of So
ngs depicts the suffering Israel as sustained at the hands of its enemies,
and we can conclude that the Divine distress at this suffering of His beloved Israel is grea
t.
 Teshu
vah is a long process, but all that is needed for the restoration of the ultimate relationship
 is a beginning: a sincere regret for having deviated from His will, and a resolve to return.

Today I shall
...
.. seek to restore my personal relationship with G-d by dedicating myself
to teshuvah.

DAILY DOSE:
The Doctor
Why do we go to a doctor? Does a doctor give life?
We go to the doctor because we need to repair not just our souls,
not just our bodies, but our world as well.
We have made a world that brings sickness.
That same world must now bring life.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman

GROWING EACH DAY:
RABBI ABRAHAM J. TWERSKI
A person should do everything in an orderly manner (Rabbi Yisrael of Salant).
Rabbi Yisrael of Salant founded the
mussar movement, a formal and
 programmed study of ethics. All his writings deal with ways to achieve
spirituality. How can orderliness and organization be a method to achieve spirituality?
People on vacation use their time haphazardly. They arise at any time of the day and
 let their whim determine their activities.
They feel no accountability and no purpose in what they are doing.
The essence of Judaism is the concept that each person has a mission on this earth.
There are no "after-work" hours, and one is never really on vacation from working
 toward an ultimate goal. While judicious rest and relaxation are necessary
for optimum health, they are in fact part of the "workday." One cannot do things
 according to whim. Within reasonable parameters,
a person's life should be orderly and scheduled.
Employees are held accountable for time while they are on the job.
Schedules allow for lunch and for coffee breaks, but they are not free
 to do whatever they wish, whenever they wish.
A person should know that we are on earth "on a job,"
 and since we are accountable for every minute,
it is essential that we have order in our lives
.
Today I shall
...
.. try to bring greater order into my life, knowing that I am here for a specific mission.
