In the latest adventure of our Tanya journey, we dive into the sacred letters of the Alter Rebbe collected in Igeres Hakodesh. Picture this: the Alter Rebbe, a master of Torah, faced the whirlwind of his times—a world where prayer was often rushed to make way for study. Ah, but he saw the hidden treasure in prayer!

In part three of letter one, he passionately calls for a revolution. Imagine waking up to a world where prayer isn’t a chore but a heartfelt ascent to the Divine! He suggests that those with time—students and the supported—lead the prayers, encouraging a slower, more meaningful connection with God. “Let’s take our time,” he urges, “and make prayer a priority!”

This isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s about transforming our spiritual practice. The Alter Rebbe reminds us that true connection to God comes not from speed but from intention and depth. So, as we continue this journey, let’s embrace the potential of prayer—our sacred ladder to the heavens. Blessings await those who dive deep!
