The first article presents teachings of the Magid of Mezritch, whose yahrzeit is on the 19th of the Jewish month of Kislev. The date is also the anniversary of the first publication of Tanya, in 1796/97, an important primer for Kabbalah and Chasidut (see article #2 to sample a chapter), and also the date of the liberation of its author, Rabbi Shneur Zalman, in 1798. All three of the above events will be celebrated jointly on Yud-Tes Kislev this week (Thursday night-Friday), a chasidic celebration with important implications for the increased dissemination of the Inner Dimensions and Secrets of Torah.
Prophetic dreams are a major theme is this week's reading and next (six such dreams altogether!); articles #3 relate to this topic.

Mastering One's Desires
By Rabbi Sholom-Noach Berezovsky (the previous Slonimer Rebbe):
To refrain from responding when insulted or to remain silent during a heated argument and not feel the need to have the last word is the sign of a true hero. |
