A Reflection…

We are changing.
We are awakening.

Something within the human spirit is stirring — not in chaos, but in remembrance. It feels as though the collective consciousness is stretching its muscles after a long season of stillness. Eyes are opening. Hearts are questioning. Minds are reaching beyond the familiar edges of old narratives.

There is a subtle but undeniable shift — a movement from passive acceptance to active awareness. We are beginning to see more clearly, to feel more deeply, to ask better questions. What once felt fixed now feels fluid. What once felt distant now feels interconnected.

Perhaps awakening is not about becoming something new, but about returning to something ancient within us — a deeper knowing, a shared pulse of truth and responsibility.

The collective is stretching.

And with each stretch, we grow stronger.

Whole and Half

By Tzvi Freeman

To become one with another person, you must first recognize that you are but a broken half. Only then can you give all of yourself and become whole.

To become one with the Infinite Light, you must know you are but a broken half, the Infinite Light is your other half, and only then can you give all of yourself and become whole.

Pekudei 5741:61-62; Torat Menachem 5749 vol. 2, pg. 180.

💡 Today’s Tanya | One Powerful Takeaway

10 Adar

You can love someone

and reject what they do.

The evil is real.

The good is hidden.

Rejection is for the evil.

Love is for the soul.

Compassion removes hatred

and restores love.

‘Love and Hate Both Have Their Place’

⸻

🥜 In a Nutshell

The Torah commands: love your fellow as yourself.

The Talmud also speaks of a time to hate.

Both are true.

The evil is real. Reject it.

The good is hidden. Love it.

Compassion for the soul in exile

removes hatred

and restores love.

Even when hatred is permitted,

it is directed at the evil,

never at the soul.

⸻

Keep reading for a deeper dive into today’s Tanya…

⸻

1. When Hate Is a Mitzvah

The Talmud teaches that if you see a companion sin, there are situations where hatred is a mitzvah.

But this applies only in a very specific case.

A companion in Torah and mitzvot.

Someone who knows better.

Someone who has already been rebuked properly.

Someone who still refuses to change.

Only then is hatred permitted.

And even then,

the hatred is not for the person.

It is for the evil within.

⸻

2. When Love Is the Only Way

What about someone who is not your equal in Torah and mitzvot?

Someone distant.

Someone who does not fully understand the seriousness of what is being done.

Here, hatred has no place.

Hillel teaches:

Be among the students of Aharon.

Love peace.

Pursue peace.

Love the creatures.

Draw them close to Torah.

Even if the only visible merit is that this person was created by Hashem,

love is required.

Even if nothing changes,

the love itself fulfills the mitzvah.

⸻

3. Both at Once

Can love and hate exist together?

Yes.

Hate is aimed at the evil.

Love is aimed at the good hidden inside.

Every person carries a divine spark.

Even when it is buried.

Even when hatred is permitted,

it is directed only at the evil,

never at the soul.

Both emotions are true.

They are simply aimed at different targets.

⸻

4. Let Compassion Decide

Compassion removes hatred

and awakens love.

When hatred begins to rise,

shift the focus.

See the soul in exile.

Feel compassion for it.

Compassion brings love back to the surface.

⸻

5. The Exception

There is one exception.

Those who openly reject the God of Israel entirely.

About them, David said,

“I hate them with complete hatred.”

But in every other case,

the mitzvah of love remains.

Reject the evil.

Love the soul.

Let compassion lead.

⸻

🔁 A Practical Reset for Today

When someone’s behavior disturbs you:

Pause.

Ask whether this is deliberate rebellion or ignorance.

Separate the act from the person.

Reject the evil.

Have compassion for the soul.

⸻

The Message

Ahavat Yisrael is not blindness.

It is clarity.

You do not have to choose between love and truth.

Reject the evil.

Love the person.

Let compassion determine which one governs you.

Who Are You Becoming in the Quiet?

You’ve been doing the work.

You’ve been choosing steadiness.
You’ve been choosing trust.
You’ve been choosing alignment.

Bitachon is not passive waiting.

It is active reliance.

And reliance creates vessels.

When you stand with quiet confidence in Hashem’s goodness, even before you see visible results, you are not simply being patient. You are forming the kli that brings revealed good into your life.

According to the teachings of the Rebbeim, Bitachon itself becomes the merit that draws down revealed good.

Not hidden good.
Not abstract good.
Good that is experienced as good.

You may not see it yet.

But good is already in motion.

Hashem is guiding the process with precision.

He is responding to the vessel you are forming.

Your calm.
Your clarity.
Your steady reliance.

These form a kli, a spiritual vessel, for the blessings Hashem is bringing into your life.

You are not waiting.

You are becoming.

The Happiness Dynamic

By Tzvi Freeman

A good life, like a powerful dynamo, is generated between the opposite poles of wonder and joy.

At its foundation there is wonder and awe—a sense that you stand naked before a presence that encompasses all and fills all, and that presence awaits you to act, and relies upon your action.

Wonderment then flows outward into beautiful deeds, helpful words and healthy thoughts—along its way encountering joy and delight.

And when there comes a time to rest, on Shabbat and special days, then that joy breaks out of its cocoon of your deeds, in an outburst of pure bliss and delight.

What could be more delightful, more worth celebrating, than a life spent each moment in the presence of an infinite, loving G-d?
