Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Last Essays Number 9 “The Magical 24 Hour Silent Meditation”
A New Tanya class By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz “The Magical 24 Hour Silent Meditation” Tanya Last Essays Number 9 SIYUM HATANYA IN FORT MYERS FLORIDA Based on the verse הוכח תוכיח את עמיתך the Talmud says even 100 times. The Alter Rebbe is pleading for us to have pity on our souls in 3 areas. 1. Prayer. Prayer is the service of the Heart to G-D. Prayer should be done. All together. One word at a time. No dreaming. No talking. The problem is not having a proper person to lead the service. The solution to chose people that are capable of leading the service. Either by lottery or majority approval. The requirements are. Saying each word. Medium pace. Loud voice. The community should gather around & pray with the same requirements. This Prayer practice will take away any & all struggles that we have. G-D should purify our hearts to serve him in Truth. Torah Study. To divide the study of the whole Talmud every year within each community. If it’s a big community to finish it multiple times. If it’s a small community to unite with other communities. All those that study the Talmud should recite every week psalm 119 as it has 8 verses per each letter of the alphabet. Fasting. When one sins. The way to cleanse yourself is via fasting. The amounts of fasts are listed in אגרת התשובה chapter 3. Substitute for fasting - Shabbas. Since we don’t have the strength to fast we can can use the advise from the Talmud כל השומר שבת כהלכתו מוחלין לו על כל עוונותיו״ “Whoever observes Shabbas according to its laws are forgiven for all their sins” The Talmud says specifically “כהלכתו Jewish Law” so we need to learn all the Halachot of Shabbas. To know what’s forbidden & to know how to prepare before Shabbas to avoid any desecration of Shabbas. “24 Hour Silent Meditation” Not to speak any unnecessary words on Shabbas G-D forbid. As it’s known to those that study the hidden teachings. That every mitzvah has פנימיות וחיצוניות the spiritual & the physical component in each mitzvah. The חיצוניות of Shabbas is just like Hashem rested so we rest from any physical work. The פנימיות of Shabbas is meditation in prayer & Torah study to cleave to Hashem. As the verse says שבת לה׳ אלקיך that we rest in a way that our soul gets deeply reconnected to Hashem our G-D. Specifically this is the פנימיות of the positive Mitzvah of זכור את יום השבת by meditation in Prayer & Torah study. The פנימיות of the Mitzvah of שמור את יום השבת is resting from speaking on Shabbas just like Hashem rested from speaking on Shabbas the ten utterances that we’re said the 6 days of creation. The חיצוניות is no physical work the פנימיות is no speech. The Alter Rebbe finishes off with a quote from King Solomon’s ecclesiastes that says זה לעומת זה that both sides are equal namely that The not speaking creates the same rest & spiritual elevation as does the meditation in Prayer & Torah study. Interesting the verse speaks about when life is great we are to be grateful & when life is challenging we’re to look & contemplate as both are from the same loving G-D hence the power of silence.

Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Last Essays Number 8 “Praying leisurely will create Love of G-D”
A New Tanya class By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz “Praying leisurely with meditation will develop a revealed Love for Hashem” Tanya Last Essays Number 8 The Alter Rebbe says that he’s not happy to hear that they don’t allow the chazan that prays leisurely to lead the prayer service. Praying leisurely creates life & long life. If the שליח ציבור prays leisurely he creates life & long life for the whole community. As the Talmud says that there are 3 things that create long life & one praying leisurely. If your in a rush it’s better for the chazan to pray slowly to grant everyone a long life even though you will have to leave early & miss קדושה וברכו. Since you need to leave early your considered a אונס and would exempt & the chazan can have you in mind in his prayers and it would be as if you fully participated in the service. As the Talmud tells us of the community out in the fields that cant make it synagogue that the big synagogue exempts them thru their prayers. In the times of the Mishna & Talmud when the main avoda was learning Torah they prayed leisurely. Now before Moshiach arrival Rabbi Chaim Vital says our main Avodah is Prayer how much more so do we need to pray leisurely. Praying leisurely is actually a biblical obligation for those that know how to meditate each according to their abilities the time that it takes to create Awe & love in his or her heart for Hashem. The meditation takes place during פסוקי דזמרה & the 2 blessing before Shema יוצר ואהבת עולם as we praise Hashem so that when we say the verse ואהבת in Shema the love that is concealed should be felt in a revealed way as that is the Mitzvah of ואהבת בכל לבבך as that is the source that inspires all the other 248 positive Mitzvot as the Rambam writes that in order to fulfill all Mitzvot with truth one needs to feel true Love for Hashem. The biblical commandment of ואהבת that is the biblical commandment to pray leisurely & with meditation, to awaken & reveal the hidden love for Hashem. As you can’t command to love so the Magid of Mezritch explains that the commandment is on the meditation. שמע ישראל we need to meditate that ה אלקינו ה אחד than we are assured that we will love Hashem. On the inner love that we all have for Hashem there is no need for a commandment as we love Hashem in that level. The commandment is to reveal it in the G-Dly soul, as well to reveal it in the natural soul where there it did not even exist in a concealed way. When we reveal the love for Hashem to the natural soul that operates our life we elevate the sparks as the purpose of prayer is to elevate the sparks thru the avodah of אתהפכא or אתכפי of the נפש החיונית to the נפש אלקית. As the blood is the soul & the life of the person, the Blood gets renewed everyday by the food & drink that we consume, we are also effected by our clothing & house that we live in. So when we use it for the נפש אלקית וקדושה that is the בירור הניצוצות that happens when our love for Hashem is revealed during Prayer. Therefore it is important to pray leisurely & meditate to bring out the love for Hashem. However in previous generations that had high level souls they were able to create that level of level of level by praying without the leisure pace & meditation.

Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Last Essays Number 7 "Charity brings Love & Humility to the Heart"
A New Tanya class By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz “The powerful impact of Charity to draw down Love & Humility to the essence of your Heart” Tanya Last Essays Number 7 The Alter Rebbe quotes from the prophet Amos וצדקה כנחל איתן that charity will be revealed with great strength like the strong stream that flows with great strength. The Alter Rebbe explains the mystical insight to the verse נחל is a reference to the flow & איתן is a reference to חכמה. There are 3 interpretations to איתן they are תוקף, קשה ויושן which are all found in the חכמה of the נשמה of every Jew as the letter Yud is a Dot with a Point on top & on bottom which is a נקודה בהיכלא that from the Dot-the humility of Chochma it is drawn in to The chamber of Bina which is than drawn into the essence of the heart so that the essence of the heart gets to experience the Humilty & Love of the total nullification of Chochma. Chochma is called תרין ריעין דלא מתפרשין as you need Chochma for the world to continue to exist. The four letters that make up the word איתן are all a reference to the future so איתן that has all 4 letters is a reference to a future revelation when Moshiach will be revealed as then the infinite light & the oneness of Hashem into the essence of our heart. Thru drawing down the נחל איתן a reference to חכמה עילאה that will light up the essence of our hearts. The depths of our hearts will be nullified in the oneness of Hashem. By taking off the ערלת הלב מתאוות גשמיות As the חכמה will light up the Heart. The alter Rebbe says this experience that humility & love of חכמה should shine in our essence of our hearts is possible during exile as well. By awakening רחמים רבים העליונים on the fact that the spark of Hashem is in Galus because as long as חכמה עילאה is not revealed & felt in the Heart The spark is in exile as it can’t express it’s true powers in a revealed way. Thru the רחמים רבים it goes out from exile & it shines in the essence of the heart till it wants to cleave & unite with Hashem. As the verse in the Prophet ישעי׳ says ליעקב אשר פדה את אברהם the simple meaning is that the reason why Abraham was saved from the furnace so that Yaakov can be born in the future. The spiritual meaning is that when what Abraham represents Love & Kindness is concealed we need Yaakov that represents Rachamim compassion to reveal the love & kindness that’s concealed. The Alter Rebbe brings from the Zohar that אתערותא דלתתא אתערותא דלעילא that when we awaken with in us רחמים רבים which is the attributes of רחמנים וגומלי חסדים to help materially with Gold & Silver the charity causes the flow of the pure intellect of love & humility into the essence of our hearts. The Alter Rebbe quotes from Job that says כי עור בעד עור וכל אשר לאיש יתן בעד נפשו that when it comes to saving the G-Dly Soul you should be willing to do anything in other words to give with out limit so that your life should be filled with the life of the infinite light.
