Time was the first creation; thus, the sanctification of time is the first mitzvah commanded to Israel.
  — The Rebbe

Thought for the Day


Pushed From Behind

Nothing limits you, no force that holds you captive—other than a fiction of your imagination.

So you will say, “What, then, of the forces of nature? Of the constraints of a human body? Of the hard reality that slams against me when I attempt to stride through the barriers of life?”

Yes, they are there. But they are not what they seem to be.

They are not there to oppose you, but to carry you. As your soul pulls forward, those barriers force her inward, towards her deepest, strongest self.



From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. To order Rabbi Freeman’s book, Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.
Ben Azzai used to say: “Do not regard anyone with contempt, and do not reject anything, for there is no man who does not have his hour, and nothing which does not have its place” (Avot 4:3).
