Lessons from the Maamar in the Service of Hashem

Lessons from the Maamar in the service of Hashem

1. Keeping every detail of halacha doesn’t just make us have more fear of Hashem; it is what refines us and gives us the ability to reveal our love for Hashem during davening.
2. Someone who really cares about himself, his children, his family and friends, will encourage himself and others to act in the most refined manner and pursue wisdom and sensitivity.
3. Sometimes, we feel “bound” and obligated to listen to the animal soul’s demands for physical pleasure or other foolish desires. We need to know that we have the power to free ourselves from any of its demands by dedicating ourselves more strongly to serving Hashem and revealing Him in this world. When a person is busy learning Torah, teaching, and spreading the knowledge and practice of Torah and Mitzvos to every Jew he can, then there won’t be any room left for the animal soul to convince us that he has us “bound” to his wishes.
4. In order to receive this power to totally dedicate ourselves to Hashem, we need to connect to the Moshe Rabeinu in our generation, the Rebbe, who shows us what dedication to Hashem is all about.
