Welcome, dear friends, to our daily dose of Tanya wisdom.

In Chapter 32, the Alter Rebbe digs into the challenge of staying focused on prayer. He says, sometimes our minds wander because we’re tired! He compares it to someone trying to fill a leaky bucket – you can pour all you want, but it won’t get full.

So, what’s the solution? Just like you wouldn’t blame the bucket, don’t get angry at yourself! Instead, focus on getting some rest. A tired body can’t house a focused mind. Give yourself permission to recharge, and you’ll find your prayers flowing with renewed energy.
