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: (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 Songs 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 great.
Teshuvah 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.

Sweet & Very Sweet
There are two types of events in life: Good and very good. Sweet and bitter-sweet.
Why bitter-sweet?
Sweet, because from each event in life we grow.
Bitter, because it is so painful to tear ourselves away from who we once were.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman

Pruzbol (Ezras Torah):
If there are outstanding debts owed to us which we intend to collect,
we must prepare a Pruzbol so that the Shemitah year
will not automatically nullify the debts.
The nullification of outstanding loans by the Shemitah year
takes place only at the end of the year.
Even if one had prepared a Pruzbol last year on
Erev Rosh HaShanah 5767, he must prepare one again now.

Daily Dose
The Personality Thing
You need to be honest with yourself:
Are these feelings of guilt and inadequacy based in reality,
or just a personality issue? Does G-d really have it in for you,
or is this just the pessimism of an anxious beast inside?
If it is the latter, take a break from your self-derision
and nurture confidence in the Director of this universe.
He carries you through every moment,
but only as close as your trust in Him will allow.
As for the personality issue -- channel that in positive ways.
People of such nature are generally
apt to serious study, deep and creative thought and dogged persistence.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman

Growing Each Day
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski
It would have been better for man had he not been created,
but now that he has been created, he must carefully examine his actions.(Eruvin 13b).
Some people have made themselves modern disciples of Epicurus.
After noting the prevalence of suffering and distress in the world,
they conclude that humans are innocent victims of unjustified misery.
Therefore, they find no reason to further restrict the few pleasures that
people can have, and they say, "Let people do whatever their hearts desire."
These people act as though they were the first to discover the plight of mankind.
The above Talmudic passage should teach them that several thousand years ago,
some very wise people had already thoroughly analyzed human life. Although they
too concluded that it would have been better for humanity not to have been created,
we still do not have carte blanche to do whatever we please.
Our emotions profoundly influence our thought processes.
People may come to conclusions that are completely false, but they
will believe them to be correct because they want to believe them.
This fallacy is dangerous; if someone indulges himself and knows
that he is doing wrong, there is a possibility of teshuvah, but if he
deceives himself and believes that he is just in his behavior, there is no possibility of teshuvah.
Try an experiment. Take an opinion you have about any issue.
Now, consult the works of Torah literature. You will find, without exception,
that every issue you raise has been thoroughly discussed centuries ago.
Today I shall ...
.. be aware that challenges to Torah teaching are invariably
rationalizations and try to control my pleasures instead of letting them control me.
