Good morning, everyone! Today, we dive into Tanya, Chapter 44, on a special day—the birthday of the Rebbe Marash, Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch. As we explore this chapter, we uncover the layers of love for God, highlighting that love isn't a one-size-fits-all affair. It's like a kaleidoscope, each person viewing it through their unique lens—some may experience a gift of divine love, while others cultivate it through meditation.

The Altar Rebbe teaches us about the innate love that resides within every Jew, a hidden love waiting to be accessed. It’s a bit like a dormant seed in our hearts, just waiting for the right moment to bloom!

And here’s the kicker: while performing a mitzvah is universal, the feelings and intentions behind it are deeply personal. Each of us has our own “gates of wisdom,” shaping our connection to Hashem. So, when we engage in mitzvot, remember that love for God is as unique as each soul! Let’s embrace our individual paths and find ways to express this beautiful love daily!
