Tanya L'masse #8 - Conscious Connection

Tanya L’maaseh – Learning + Hisbonenus 5 min discussion + 5 minutes of quiet hisbonenus – Your weekly hisbonenus gym Based on the writings of Reb Shlomo Chaim Kessleman z”l and the Tanya classes of Mrs. Shterna Ginsburg (“Tanya in Real Life”)Lead by Rabbi Betzalel Bassman Week #7 – Hisbonenus SummarySit quietly and bring yourself into the moment.You’re not using Tanya just to “improve yourself,” and not only to “serve Hashem” as something separate. Your inner world is your avodas Hashem. Your neshama is not separate from your life—it is the core of it.Let the question settle: Am I living aligned with what’s true—or just trying to manage life?Now shift to a deeper נקודה: “Bad” doesn’t mean broken or disconnected. It means unaware.You are never outside of Hashem. אין עוד מלבדו — there is no reality separate from Him. The only shift is: awareness or unawareness.Hisbonenus is the practice of becoming aware.Gently think: Right now, Hashem is here. Right now, I am within His presence. Nothing is missing—only my awareness.If it helps, choose a דרך to deepen it:Visual: something hidden vs revealed—nothing changed, just uncoveredEmotional: where am I numb vs feeling presentAudio: quietly repeat—“Hashem is here”—and let it grow strongerAttention: notice drifting, and softly returnNo pressure to feel something dramatic. Just sit with the truth, and let it become a little more real.This is the avodah: Not becoming something new— but becoming aware of what already is.Tanya L'masseh - Learning + Hisbonenus Presenter : Rabbi Betzalel Bassman A project of Merkos Torah: Kviyus Itim L'TorahTake your learning to the next level.
