from The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman
רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן עָנָה לְאֶחָד בְּהִכָּנְסוֹ לִיחִידוּתThe Alter Rebbe once gave the following answer to a chassid in the course of a yechidus:בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וועֶרעֶן אָנגעֶרוּפעֶן נֵרוֹתThe Jewish people are called lamps.אַ נֵר אִיז כָּלוּל פוּן כְּלִי פְּתִילָה שֶׁמֶן וָאֵשׁA lamp is comprised of a container, a wick, oil, and fire.מעֶן מוּז אָבּעֶר אָנצִינדעֶן דעֶם אֵשׁHowever, we must first kindle the fire;אוּן דעֶמאָלט אִיז דאָס מֵאִירonly then will it shine.בּאַ דִיר אִיז אַ גוּטעֶר נֵרYou possess a good lamp,אָבּעֶר עֶס פעֶלט דִיר דעֶר אָנצִינדעֶרbut you lack someone to kindle it.דוּרךְ הַכָּאָה בְכֹחַ אִין דעֶם אֶבֶן שֶׁל נֶפֶשׁ הַבַּהֲמִיתWhen one forcefully strikes the stone — the animal soul —געֶהְט אַרוֹיס אַ נִיצוֹץ אֵשׁa spark flies out,וועֶלכעֶר צִינדְט אָן דעֶם אֵשׁ אֱלֹקִיand that kindles the G‑dly fire.Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in EnglishFor questions and follow-up: [email protected]
