B”H OUTSIDE LOOKING IN The Previous Rebbe was once asked, “Why should I continue to work to refine my character and develop true love and fear for Hashem through prayer [Avoda] when it’s not working!?” The Rebbe answered with a parable: A poor man borrowed a rich man’s clothes and wore them to a wedding. And Page CR MDS Free Translation Leibel Estrin Bitzalel Malamud Bitzalel says “Hashem gave me the Rebbe and the Rebbe gave me Hashem” “Our Rebbe says that we should tell the nations that the land of Israel is ours as a gift and an inheritance from our Father the King and Creator of the universe” B”H even if he can only look in for a short time, this effort will be useful. 2 Page CR MDS Free Translation Leibel Estrin Bitzalel Malamud Bitzalel says “Hashem gave me the Rebbe and the Rebbe gave me Hashem” “Our Rebbe says that we should tell the nations that the land of Israel is ours as a gift and an inheritance from our Father the King and Creator of the universe” It is much better to be outside, looking in!” Reb Shmuel Bitzalel’s intention was not that watching street activity might harm the boy’s psyche because, after all, what was going on in the streets of Lubavitch? Before davening, one should use one’s intellect to contemplate: 1-the greatness of Hashem 2-the lowliness of a person On the surface, contemplating a person’s lowness is not a mitzvah. [Sinchas Torah night 5726] Lost and Found One time the chassidim were fabrenging in the house of one of the big chassidim of the Tzemach Tzedek and they ran out of farbiesen. Our Rebbe explains by citing a lesson of the Baal Shem Tov: “Where a person’s desire is, that’s where he can be found.” Accordingly, it’s better to be outside looking in. However, if we contemplate a person’s lowliness, we will eventually reach the level of “standing outside and looking in!” and our Avodah will achieve its goal. In other words, if one focuses on his essential “me” –his soul, which is a piece of Hashem, his service eventually will accomplish its purpose. So why not dispense with it and only contemplate the greatness of Hashem, which as the Tanya tells us is a great and exalted mitzvah?
