Monday Adar Sheini 29 5703
Torah Lessons (5703)	Chumash: Tazria, Sheini with Rashi. Tehillim: 140-150. Tanya: It is this (p. 191)...this was their Service. (p. 193).

My father said at a farbrengen: G-d created the universe and all physical objects Yeish Mei'ayin, something from nothing. Jews must transform the "something" into "nothing,"[1] transform the material into spiritual. [1]

The Avoda of turning the physical into spiritual and making the physical into an instrument for the spiritual, is a personal obligation. Every single person, individually, is required to do this.

   

Notes:

1. (Back to text) Meaning, "the intangible" in material terms - i.e. the spiritual. See Supplementary Footnotes, p. 127 in the printed version.
