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

Today, we delve into Chapter 11, where the Alter Rebbe explores the challenge of maintaining spiritual focus amidst life’s daily distractions. He compares our minds to a candle’s flame, constantly flickering in the wind. Just as we shield a candle to keep it lit, so too must we create a protective shield around our thoughts. This means consciously choosing to focus on what truly matters: kindness, prayer, and connection with god. By setting aside dedicated time for contemplation, we nurture that inner flame, allowing its light to illuminate even the most mundane moments.
