| Thursday | Cheshvan 6 | 5704 | | Torah lessons: | Chumash: Lech L'cha, Chamishi with Rashi. | | Tehillim: 35-38. | | Tanya: There is yet (p. 553) ...was in secret... (p. 555). | |
When the Alter Rebbe wished to bless R. Yekusiel Liepler with wealth, the latter said he did not want it; he did not want wealth to distract him from studying Chassidus and from his involvement with avoda. When the Rebbe wished to bless him with longevity, his answer was: But not "peasant years"1 - men that have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear, who do not perceive G-dliness nor do they hear G-dliness.
