Description
מַה שֶׁנּוֹהֲגִים שֶׁלֹּא לִלְמוֹד בְּנִיתְּל, שָׁמַעְתִּי מֵאַאַמוּ"ר הַטַּעַם
I heard from my revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], that the reason that one customarily refrains from studying [Torah] on nittel night
שֶׁהוּא כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא לְהוֹסִיף חַיּוּת
is to refrain from adding vitality [to the kelipos].
פַּעַם אָמַר אַאַמוּ"ר
Once my revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], said:
דִי מַתְמִידִים וואָס דִי אַכט שָׁעָה אִיז זֵיי נוֹגֵעַ בְּנֶפֶשׁ, האָב אִיך נִיט האָלט
“I do not care for those scholars who are so [unduly] diligent that the loss of those eight hours3 touches their very souls.”
וְהוּא רַק עַד חֲצוֹת לַיְלָה
[We refrain from studying] only [from sunset] until midnight.
