Welcome, dear listeners, to our moment of reflection with the Tanya.  Today we turn to Chapter 36, where the Alter Rebbe reminds us that just as a candle casts light into darkness, so too does connecting with god dispel any despair. Each mitzvah, each act of kindness, no matter how small, illuminates the world with god’s presence.  Let us strive daily to be those flickering flames, bringing warmth and hope to every corner of our lives. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
