Welcome to another episode of Daily Tanya with Rabbi Solomon Sage. Today, we delve into Chapter 32, a profound section of the Tanya that is incredibly relatable to our everyday lives.
In this chapter, the Alter Rebbe discusses the concept of "ahavat Yisrael" - the love for every Jew. He explains that every Jew, even the simplest, possesses a "piece of God above." This divine soul is the essence of every Jew, more important than the body and animal soul where ego and self-interest reside.
The Rebbe emphasizes that by focusing on the divine soul within others, rather than their physical and animal soul, we can foster unconditional love for every Jew. This perspective aligns us with God's love for the Jewish people, as He cherishes the divine soul within every Jew.
In our daily lives, this teaching encourages us to see beyond people's flaws and mistakes, focusing instead on their inherent worth and potential. It urges us to foster unity among us, irrespective of our differences.
So, next time you find yourself judging others or focusing on their shortcomings, remember the Alter Rebbe's words. Look instead for the divine spark within them, and let that guide your feelings and actions towards them.
Thank you for joining us for this enlightening exploration of the Tanya. May we all strive to see the divine in each other, fostering love and unity in our communities.
