''Today's Day'' Dedicate an email Iyar 13, 5772 · May 5, 2012 Iyar 13, 28th day of the omer Print this Page Tuesday Iyar 13,* 28th day of the omer 5703 Torah lessons: Chumash: B'har, Shlishi with Rashi. Tehillim: 69-71. Tanya: So, indeed, is (p. 251)...and the limited. (p. 253). At Mincha, tachanun is said. The Alter Rebbe once said (during those years that he would say short maamarim): "Know what is above you."1 Know that everything "above" in the supernal sefirot and partzufim (Divine emanations and configurations), all derives "from you"2; it all depends on man's service.3 FOOTNOTES *. This day marks the yahrzeit, in 5712 (1952) of R. Yisrael Aryeh Leib of blessed memory, brother of the Rebbe of righteous memory. 1. Avot 2:1. 2. Manifestations of the Divine Emanations, whether Chessed (Kindness) or Gevura (Severity), are determined by Man. Man's actions are independent and real, and from Above, G-d reacts to Man, "reflects" Man's actions. Man may be insignificant from one perspective, but his importance is cosmic from another. "I am dust and ashes" expresses one view; "The universe was created on my account" expresses the second. 3. The quotation from Avot may therefore be translated, "Know, that what is Above is from you."
