Welcome, dear friends, to a moment of reflection on the Tanya.

The Tanya reminds us “for from the verse ‘And you shall love the Lord your god with all your heart’ do we learn that this is dependent on the heart of flesh” meaning our very natural and instinctive feelings. The truth is that often our hearts don’t naturally flow with love for god. We may be preoccupied with worries, ambitions, even boredom with prayer. But the Tanya teaches us that our love for god shouldn’t be contingent on our fleeting emotions. Rather it’s about consistently choosing faith and action even when our hearts aren’t bursting with feeling.
