''Today's Day'' Dedicate an email Tammuz 1, 5772 · 06/21/2012 "Today's Day" Sunday Tamuz 1, 2nd day of Rosh Chodesh 5703 Torah lessons: Chumash: Chukat, first parsha with Rashi. Tehillim: 1-9. Tanya: Ch. 9. In regard (p. 325) ...these ad infinitum. (p. 325). Mesirat nefesh (self-sacrifice) for Torah-scholars means, "When a man dies in a tent,"1 as interpreted by our sages,2 to "put to death" all pleasure-taking in worldly matters - for even trivial wordly delights are obstacles to being thoroughly devoted and dedicated to the "tent" of Torah. FOOTNOTES 1. Bamidbar 19:14. 2. See Berachot 63b: "From whence do we know that Torah knowledge permanently remains only in an individual who gives his very life (as it were) for it? From the verse, When a man dies in a tent, i.e. he gives his very life to be in the "tent of Torah," renouncing all wordly pleasures.
