Description

Day 45 of the Omer

עַד י"ב בַּחֹדֶשׁ — וְעַד בִּכְלַל — אֵין אוֹמְרִים תַּחֲנוּן

[From the first of Sivan] until the twelfth inclusive, Tachanun is omitted.

זְרוֹק חוּטְרָא לַאֲוִירָא אַעִקָּרֵיהּ קָאֵי

[There is a maxim of the Sages:] “If you toss a stick into the air, it will land on its base.”

נַחֲלָה בְּלִי מְצָרִים הִנְחִילוּ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ הַקְּדוֹשִׁים לִכְבוֹד חֲסִידִים הָרִאשׁוֹנִים

Our forefathers, our holy Rebbeim, bequeathed “an unbounded inheritance” to the early chassidim —

אֲשֶׁר בְּנֵי בְנֵיהֶם וּבְנֵי בְנוֹתֵיהֶם לְדוֹרוֹתֵיהֶם

that their descendants throughout the generations,

בְּאֵיזֶה מְדִינָה וּסְבִיבָה שֶׁיִּהְיוּ

regardless of country or environment,

"יִהְיֶה אֶצְלָם אוֹתוֹ הָ"עִקְּרֵיהּ

would always have that fundamental home base —

וְהוּא הַמְשָׁכַת פְּנִימִיּוּת הַלֵּב אֶל צוּר מַחְצַבְתּוֹ

the heart’s innermost desire to be drawn to the Divine Rock from which it was hewn.

לִפְעָמִים הָ"עִקָּרֵיהּ" מְכוּסֶּה וְנֶעְלָם בְּכַמָּה לְבוּשִׁים

This home base may be layered and hidden under several coverings.

וְזֹאת הִיא עֲבוֹדַת הֶחָפֵץ בַּחַיִּים

It is thus the life-task of whoever “desires life”

לְהָסִיר אֶת הַכִּסּוּיִם

to remove those coverings —

וּלִקְבּוֹעַ לוֹ זְמַנֵּי לִמּוּד בְּתוֹרַת הַחֲסִידוּת

to fix regular times for the study of Chassidus,

וְלִנְהוֹג בְּמִנְהֲגֵי עֲדַת הַחֲסִידִים

and to observe the customs of the chassidic community.
