''Today's Day'' Dedicate an email Sivan 26, 5772 · 06/16/2012 "Today's Day" Tuesday Sivan 26 5703 Torah lessons: Chumash: Korach, Shlishi with Rashi. Tehillim: 119, 97 to end. Tanya: And this is also (p. 315)...in actual reality. (p. 317). "They went down to the pit alive"1 - even in the grave they think they are alive. There is a blessing contained in "They went down to the pit alive," as with "the sons of Korach did not die,"2 - "a place was established for them3 and they repented." For teshuva, repentance, is effective only while one is still alive. This, then, is the blessing - that even in the pit they will live, and they will be able to effect teshuva. FOOTNOTES 1.
