Shalom and welcome back. Let’s delve into Tanya, Chapter 13.  How often do we feel sluggish, unmotivated?  The Alter Rebbe teaches us that within our soul lies two inclinations, the good and the bad, constantly vying for dominance.  Just as sleep weakens our physical senses, allowing the soul to ascend, so too does laziness, a lack of spiritual desire, weaken our soul, giving the evil inclination a foothold.  But despair not! Just as we awaken each morning, we must awaken our souls with Torah learning and prayer, nurturing the good within us and strengthening our connection to god.
