Hayom Yom 9 Iyar - Whatever one sees or hears is a directive for service of G‑d

Day 24 of the Omer מוֹרֵנוּ הַבַּעַל שֵׁם טוֹב אָמַר Our master, the Baal Shem Tov, taught: כָּל דָּבָר וְדָבָר אֲשֶׁר הָאָדָם רוֹאֶה אוֹ שׁוֹמֵעַ “Whatever a person sees or hears הוּא הוֹרָאַת הַנְהָגָה בַּעֲבוֹדַת הַשֵּׁם is a directive for his service of G‑d. וְזֶהוּ עִנְיַן הָעֲבוֹדָה This is what Divine service consists of — לְהָבִין וּלְהַשְׂכִּיל מִכֹּל דֶּרֶךְ בַּעֲבוֹדַת הַשֵּׁם understanding and deducing a way to serve G‑d from everything [one sees or hears].” Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in English For questions and follow-up: [email protected]
