The essence of the soul is even higher than the highest level of the soul, the Yechidah.
Wake up the essence of the soul and do one more Mitzvah to tip the scale and bring the Redemption for everyone!
This doesn’t necessarily refer to lofty matters, like learning and spreading Chassidus, the Yechidah of the Torah; rather also and mainly to simple things like providing for a fellow Jew’s physical needs – connected to the Jew’s essential existence as a soul in a body.
In the month of Kislev, there are additional needs – for the festive meals of Chanukah and to be able to give money as Chanukah Gelt, as the custom of the Chabad Rebbes. Before Chanukah, there are also the Chassidic holidays of the 10th and 19th of Kislev, which we celebrate with meals and gatherings.
