Hayom Yom 20 Cheshvan - On one’s birthday one should deliver a discourse of Chassidus
from The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman
יוֹם הוּלֶּדֶת אֶת אַדְמוּ"ר מְהוּרַשַ"בּ נִשְׁמָתוֹ עֵדֶןOn this day the Rebbe Rashab was born, שְׁנַת כִּתְרָ"א, כִּלְשׁוֹן הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶקin the year 5621 (1860). The Tzemach Tzedek would refer to that year as כתר"א (kisra), which is Aramaic for “crown.” נִקְרָא עַל שֵׁם אַדְמוּ"ר הָאֶמְצָעִי וַחֲצִי שֵׁם אָבִיו שֶׁל הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶקThe Rebbe Rashab was given the name of the Mitteler Rebbe and half of the name of the Tzemach Tzedek’s father.2בְּכָל שָׁנָה בְּיוֹם הוּלַדְתוֹ הָיָה אַאַמוּ"ר אוֹמֵר דִּבְרֵי אֱלֹקִים חַיִּיםEvery year, on his birthday, my revered father [the Rebbe Rashab] would deliver a maamar, אֶלָּא שֶׁהָיָה בַּחֲשָׁאִי, מִלְבַד כְּשֶׁאֵרַע בְּשַׁבָּת קֹדֶשׁbut unless the day fell on Shabbos, it was delivered in private.בְּיוֹם הַהוּלֶדֶת הָאַחֲרוֹן בְּעָלְמָא דֵיןOn his last birthday in this world, אָמַר מַאֲמָר נָתַתָּ לִירֵאֶךָ נֵס לְהִתְנוֹסֵס מִפְּנֵי קוֹשֶׁט סֶלָהhe delivered a maamar based on the words, Nasata Liyreiecha Nes [...]. כְּשֶׁסִיֵּם אָמַר לִי בְּיוֹם הוּלֶּדֶת צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר חֲסִידוּתWhen it ended, he told me: “On one’s birthday one should deliver a discourse of Chassidus. יִתֵּן הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרֵךְ לְךָ מַתָּנָה שֶׁתֹּאמַר חֲסִידוּת בְּיוֹם הוּלֶּדֶת שֶׁלְךָMay G‑d grant you the gift of delivering a discourse of Chassidus on your birthday — אֶלָּא שֶׁיִּהְיֶה בְּחֶסֶד וּבְרַחֲמִיםbut may this take place with kindness and mercy.”האָט עֶס געֶדוּיעֶרט זִיבּעֶן יאָהרIt took seven years [for this blessing to materialize].Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in EnglishFor questions and follow-up: [email protected]
