Weekly Inspo:
“At a gathering during the days of sefira (at some time in the years 5651-5653, 1891-1893) someone said to my father, "The Alter Rebbe's chassidim were always keeping count." My father (the Rebbe Rashab) took a great liking to the saying, and he commented: "That idea characterises man's avoda (service). The hours must be 'counted hours,' then the days will be 'counted days.' When a day passes one should know what he has accomplished and what remains yet to be done... In general, one should always see to it that tomorrow should be much better than today…”

“Chassidim asked the Alter Rebbe: "Which is the superior avoda - service, love of G-d or love for our fellow Jews?" He replied: "Both love of G-d and love of the Jewish people are equally engraved in every Jew's neshama, ruach, and nefesh (three levels of our souls). Scripture is explicit: 'I have loved you, says the L-rd.' It follows that love of Israel is superior - for you love whom your beloved loves."

Weekly Inspo:
This Torah portion dealing with altar offerings begins: "A man who offers (yakriv) of you an offering to G-d. The logical order of the words should be, "A man of you who offers, etc.”
Chassidus explains: "A man who offers" - in order that a man become closer to G-d - "of you an offering to G-d" - he must bring the offering of himself. He must sacrifice his personal "animal," the desire for evil that is called the animal soul, inherent in every person.”

Weekly Inspo:
“It is a magnificent gift of G-d to merit an innate sense - a "feel" - for doing kindness to another, to derive deep pleasure from it. This can develop to the point that one cherishes the other more than oneself. He may find many explanations as to why he deserves his own tribulations, G-d forbid, but to do so with regard to another's suffering - is absolutely impossible…”
