| Friday | Iyar 23, 38th day of the omer | 5703 | | Torah lessons: | Chumash: B'chukotai, Shishi with Rashi. | | Tehillim: 108-112. | | Tanya: The order of (p. 263)...Life of life. (p. 265). | | The beginning of one's decline, G-d save us, is the lack of avoda in davening. Everything becomes dry and cold. Even a mitzva performed by habit* becomes burdensome. Everything is rushed. One loses the sense of pleasure in Torah-study. The atmosphere itself become crass. Needless to say, one is totally incapable of influencing others.
