Falling to the 3 aspects (goring ox,
donkey that always feels cold,
the garment that betrays) can be
healed and restored; the aspect
of the “scattered sheep” (lack of
self-respect, major factor of our
generation) is most difficult to
overcome, but nothing stands
in the way of Teshuvah
Chassidus must be studied every
day, regardless of one’s level
Gemilus Chasadim has no
restrictions regarding the
participants
If a fellow Jew is lacking in
Torah and Mitzvos, one is
obligated to “heal” him
Even to do Teshuvah one should
not afflict one’s body
‫ אנוכי‬should be felt in the simple
Mitzvos (and all should
meditate on this subject)
“The Torah speaks” hints to the
creation of the physical world;
“That which usually occurs”, the
Torah also occurs in normal &
mundane events, which really
occur by Divine Providence
We must take extra care to refrain Not only eating & benefiting, but also
from being insensitive to
another person
A person works during the week, Boring of the ear is a minimum punishment
yet needs to not be enslaved by
the work (freedom of Shabbos)

Due to the present darkness we
are on the level of Baalei
Teshuvah, who must be on
guard in this world; therefore,
the study of Chassidus is a
