Tanya for Daily Living: Chapter 38

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in The Parsha In My Life - Rabbi Reuven Wolf’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

So this week we're going to continue in our journey through the Tanya. We are speaking about chapter 38. We've been discussing a lot um the difference between Tyra and mitzv. And uh the past few weeks we've been talking about the emphasis of uh mitzvah being incredible and how much a mitzvah means and how just the action is what matters and that's really what's the source uh the the purpose of the entire creation. And then last week we were talking about how Tyra has a very meaningful way of just bringing up your entire experience and refining you as a person and really shifts um the aid to a whole another level when you engage with. Beautiful ideas. The alterba now shifts focus and he starts saying mitzvah are very important. Terra is very very important important but something else has to be said for what's behind the learning of the Torah what's behind your mitzvah what's deeper what's your deeper experience what's what's happening inside the inner work that has to happen with the mitzvah and something the Benttov spoke a lot about was the concept of which means Hashem loves the heart loves the heart. Hashem loves the kavana. Hashem loves the passion, the warmth, the intensity, the excitement that a yid exhibits when he engages with tyran mitzv. And we've spoken about this in the way way way beginning how this is one of the primary um differences between and others where there was a huge focus on passion a huge huge focus on hislavas on excitement on being invested and there's a lot of back and forth around it. There very much was uh a lot of push back for for the BMTO's
