| Sivan 2, 5772 · 05/23/2012 "Today's Day"
| Shabbat | Sivan 2, 46th day of the omer | 5703 | | Torah lessons: | Chumash: Bamidbar, Shevi'i with Rashi. | | Tehillim: 10-17. | | Tanya: As (this wisdom) (p. 273)...is termed "Shechinah" (p. 277). | | Ana B'choach at Kabalat Shabbat (p. 131) is said in an undertone. Ufros aleinu... at Kabalat Shabbat (p. 138) is said standing. In the year 5589 (1829) the Shabbat of Parshat Bamidbar was on 5 Sivan. Before the kindling of the Shabbat candles, the Tzemach Tzedek delivered the maamar, S'u et rosh...avotam.1 Following the commentary of Ibn Ezra, he interpreted the word S'u in the sense of elevation, as in "Ki tisa et rosh,"2 (lit. "When you take up the head.") The implication is that through avoda of the radiance of the soul within the body, an elevation is effected in the head (rosh) and essence of the soul as it is Above.3 In this vein he then explained a number of Torah-verses and statements in Zohar and Midrash. At noon on Shabbat the Rebbe delivered the maamar V'eirastich and its elaboration as printed in Likutei Torah. The next day, the first day of Shavuot, he delivered the maamar Us'fartem and its elaboration as printed in Likutei Torah. During the festival meal of the second day of Shavuot, the Rebbe delivered the maamar V'hachachma mei'ayin timatzei which is the second elaboration on the subject of tisp'ru chamishim yom printed in Likutei Torah.
