400 - Tisha B'Av
Tisha B'Av. We pray today in a way where we try to cry and join the pain of the Shechinah because of the lack of the Beis Hamikdash. We are taught in the verse that any time we suffer, Hashem suffers with us. And much more than the pain that we feel, Hashem feels. And therefore all the suffering and pain, although, of course, we understand that Hashem is pulling all the strings and is also the one to have caused that to happen for reasons beyond our understanding, nevertheless, once that pain is there, the Shechinah feels the...

יום ב' פ' שמיני, כ"ג ניסן, ה'תשפ"ה
התוכן דוקא ביום השמיני למילואים, שאז הקריבו את עגל החטאת ככפרה על חטא העגל, שרתה השכינה במשכן [כמ"ש בשני דפ' שמיני]. והביאור: הערב-רב עשו את העגל (לא ככפירה בה' ח"ו, אלא) שתהי' "ממוצע" בין ה' ובנ"י, כי חשבו, שכיון שה' הוא כ"כ נעלה לא שייך קשר ישיר בינו לבין בשר-ודם שמונח בענינים גשמיים, ודוקא כשמבטלים מחשבה כזאת ולוקחים את "עגל" הזה ושורפים אותו לקדושה שייך להיות השראת השכינה במשכן. ועד"ז במשכן הפרטי שבכ"א, גם א' שבנה "בנין" של תומ"צ, לא שייך להיות בו השראת השכינה כל זמן שחושב שבעת אכילתו ושתייתו ומסחרו וכו' לא שייך לעבוד את ה', ו"ככל הגוים בית ישראל". דוקא כשיש ההכרה של "בכל דרכיך דעהו" ו"אין עוד מלבדו" שייך להיות בו וב"מעשה ידיו" השראת השכינה.משיחת פורים ה’תשי”ז ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=21-04-2025 Synopsis The Shechinah did not rest in the Mishkan until the eighth day of its inauguration, when they brought the sin-offering calf in atonement for the sin of the golden calf [as it says in Sheini of parashas Shemini]. The erev rav made the golden calf not in denial of Hashem’s existence, but as an “intermediary” between Hashem and the Jewish people, because they erroneously thought that Hashem is too high for a mere mortal dealing with worldly matters to have a direct connection with Him; specifically by negating this notion – by taking a calf and burning it as a an offering for holiness, the Shechinah was able to dwell in the Mishkan. The same applies to the personal Mishkan within every individual: Even if someone has built a structure of Torah and mitzvos, the Shechinah cannot dwell in it as long as he subscribes to the notion that he can’t serve Hashem when it comes to eating, drinking, and business dealings, etc. and that when it come

Insight of the Week
Why You Need A Rabbi (From the archives in 2008)
After the people in charge of building the Mishkan completed their work, they brought it to Moshe. The Torah relates: וירא משה את כל המלאכה והנה עשו אתה כאשר צוה ה' כן עשו ויברך אתם משה. Moshe saw all the work – and behold, they had done it as Hashem had commanded, so did they do it. Moshe blessed them . Rashi tells us what blessing Moshe gave the people. He said: יהי רצון שתשרה שכינה במעשה ידיכם – "May it be the will that the Shechinah shall reside in your handiwork." At first glance, this means that Moshe prayed that the Shechinah , the divine presence, should dwell in the Mishkan . This prayer seems very puzzling. After all, Hashem had stated very clearly when He first commanded the people to construct a Mishkan that He would dwell within it...

יום ג' פ' מקץ, כ"ג כסלו, ה'תשפ"ה
התוכן טעם האריכות בתורה בסיפור מכירת יוסף הוא כי ירידת יוסף למצרים היתה הנתינת כח לבנ"י לא לשקוע בגלות מצרים וכו'. ומבאר הצ"צ שזה ע"י ב' ענינים: א) כמ"ש בשם מהרמ"א שהשכינה ירדה למצרים עם יוסף. ב) יוסף הי' השליט במצרים. ובזה גופא מוסיף הצ"צ ומביא בשם מהרמ"א דבר נפלא, שע"י שליטת יוסף במצרים לא הי' השפע של ז' ימי השובע ע"י השר של מצרים אלא ע"י השכינה באמצעות יוסף! די"ל שהכוונה לא רק השפע לבנ"י אלא גם למצרים וכל העולם! וי"ל דמ"ש פרעה ליוסף "רק הכסא אגדל ממך" קאי על פרעה דקדושה ד"מיני' אתפריעו כל נהורין", היינו מדריגה בקדושה שלמעלה מכל מדידה והגבלה, ודוקא מצד דרגא זו אפ"ל ההשפעה למצרים ללא חשש וכו', ואפ"ל הנתינת-כח לפעול ה"ונצלתם את מצרים" וכו'. ועד"ז, דוקא בגלות זה האחרון נתגלה פנימיות התורה, שהיא "טעימה" מתורתו של משיח (שזהו הנתינת-כח וכו'), וע"י הלימוד בו – באים לגילוי טעמי תורה מפי משיח וכו'.חלק מהמאמר (כעין שיחה) ד"ה רני ושמחי בת ציון, נר ה' דחנוכה ה'תש"ל ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-12-2024 Synopsis The Torah describes Yosef’s descent to Egypt in great detail, because his descent there is what empowered the Jewish people not to get stuck in Egypt etc. The Tzemach Tzedek explains that this is (1) because the Shechinah descended to Egypt with Yosef, and (2) because Yosef was the ruler in Egypt. And the Tzemach Tzedek adds a wondrous aspect in the name of the Rem”a – that as a result of Yosef’s rulership over Egypt, the sustenance during the seven years of plenty was channeled not through Egypt’s heavenly minister, but through the Shechinah via Yosef – and it could be said that this refers not only to the sustenance of the Jewish people, but also the sustenance of the Egyptians and the entire world. Additionally, it could be said that when Pharaoh told Yosef, “Only by the throne will I be greater than you,” it refers to Pharaoh in the spiritual sense, “the uncovering of all lights,” a level of holiness that transcends all measure and limitation. It is specifically from this high level that the sustenance could come to Egypt without concern et

We already established, as it is written, "but in the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow" (Shemot 23:11). What is the reason? "That the poor of your people may eat" (Ibid.). For the poor are associated with that place, MALCHUT, DENOTING THE SABBATICAL YEAR; therefore, leave it to them to eat. Consequently, one who shows mercy for the poor contributes peace to the Congregation of Yisrael, AS THE POOR ARE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. He multiplies blessings in the world and gives joy and strength to the place called 'righteousness,' DENOTING MALCHUT, by pouring blessings on the Congregation of Yisrael. This has been explained.

We learn this from the construction of the Mishkan, where the people who constructed it are generally not mentioned by name. And the truth is that the Mishkan was built and erected only by the power of Moshe Rabbeinu (as it says in Revi’i of Parashas Pekudei). Similarly, in our generation, one must know that the building of the Mishkan in every place is by the power of and through the Rebbe! Since the function of the Mishkan is the indwelling of the Shechinah, therefore, even after it has been built, its holiness constantly increases every day (like the explanation of the Rebbe Maharash’s instruction to the Rebbe Nishmaso Eden’ to review every maamar 60 times – that the difference between the 60th time and the 59th time is even greater than the diff

Have you ever had that feeling? (Minute Message - September 15, 2023)
Have you ever had a feeling that you wish you could bottle up and hold on to forever? It’s an overwhelming feeling of marvel and awe and often, at least for me, comes with goosebumps and tears. I think that feeling can be summed up by the Hebrew word “Shechinah”, which means a dwelling or settling of the presence of God.

The Keli Yakar explains: We have found thatsometimes Hashem compares Israel to the stars and sometimes to the sand on the shore of the sea …. As in times of tranquility and success, He compares them to the stars. That is an expression of greatness, as Rashi explains in this weeks Perasha. And the comparison of the sand indicates the time when the nations rise up against Israel to destroy them, but they cannot [defeat] them. This is like the waves that go up as if they wanted to flood the whole world. But immediately when they reach th...

Tanya for the 27th-28th of Tishrei כ''ז-כ''ח
The word Shechinah (שְׁכִינָה) derives from the root שֹׁכֵן—“to dwell.” The titles of “mother” and “queen” relate to their functions of caring for the lives of their children and subjects, respectively.Now, if the creation of all things derives from the Shechinah, from the revelation of Divine power, how do we account for those things that derive from kelipot, entities that “oppose” G-dliness and holiness?

Just as the Shechinah hovers over all Jews in an encompassing manner even when they are not studying Torah, so, too, even with regard to the indwelling of the Shechinah that is brought about by congregational Torah study: this illumination of the soul, being infinite, must be primarily transcendent.

Tanya for the 4th-7th of Sivan, ד׳-ז׳ סיון
The difference in G-dly revelation during the era of the first and second temple is explained.Torah alone (even though it is itself wisdom) does not suffice. For only through the action required by the mitzvot will the light of the Shechinah be drawn down into the wick—the vivifying soul. This is accomplished when the vivifying soul is burned thoroughly in the light of the Shechinah which shines on one’s head.

Tanya for the 2nd of Sivan, ב׳ סיון
In every World, there is found the “intelligence” of that particular World, namely, the sefirot of chochmah, binah, and daat of that World. They constitute the shrine of the Holy of Holies, in which the Shechinah resides. After the levels of ChaBaD (in which resides the Shechinah) descend into the level of malchut of a particular World, the creatures of that World are then created.

Tanya for the 24th of Iyar, כ''ד אייר
Ch. 51 now explains further the teaching of the Yenuka—that “this light (of the Shechinah) needs oil.” In the Zohar, “oil” usually refers to the sefirah of chochmah (lit., “wisdom”). Here, though, the Yenuka takes it to refer to good deeds. What is the connection between practical mitzvot and “oil,” which refers to chochmah? To clarify this, ch. 51 will explain the meaning of the concept that the Shechinah “dwells” (or “rests”) upon something and how practical mitzvot do indeed derive from the Divine level of chochmah, which is why they can serve as the “oil” which enables the light of the Shechinah to remain bur...

As has been stated, the Shechinah Glory is the visible manifestation of the presence of God. In the Tenach, most of these visible manifestations took the form of light, fire, cloud, or a combination of these. A new form appears in the New Testament: the Incarnate Word. At times it is closely associated with one or more of four elements: first, the Angel of YHVH/Yahweh; secondly, the Holy Spirit; thirdly, the cherubim; and fourthly, the motif of thick darkness.

Epistle 23 – Part 1
Video is also available – click to open In the letter that follows, the Alter Rebbe urges chassidim to devote the daily interval between Minchah and Maariv to the group study of Ein Yaakov, and to the laws in the Shulchan Aruch that have frequent and practical application. He introduces this appeal by explaining how sublime is the Divine Presence that dwells within Jews when they study Torah publicly. Indeed, only in the World to Come can this lofty level of Divinity be manifestly received as a reward — except when it abides over Jews and within Jews when, in t...

Epistle 25 – Part 6
Video is also available – click to open The Alter Rebbe now returns to the theme of the Divine spark in exile: ונקרא גם כן בשם גלות השכינה This [sustenance of idolaters through the Divine spark] is also called “the exile of the Shechinah.” מאחר שחיות זה, אשר בבחינת גלות בתוכם For this life-force, which is in a state of exile within them, as previously explained, הוא מהארה הנמשכת להם מהניצוץ מדבר ה׳, הנקרא בשם שכינה stems from the radiation issuing to them from the spark of the “word of G‑d,” which is called Shechinah in the terminology of the Sages, as mentioned above. According to the above, however, it would seem that this state of exile has existed since the creation of the world, wi...

The word Shechinah (שכינה) derives from the root...

Video is also available – click to open This letter comments on a discourse (in Tzavaat HaRivash, sec. 120 in the Kehot editions) in which the Baal Shem Tov explains that though all things emanate from G‑d through His attributes of love and awe, these attributes can find themselves in a state of exile. The Baal Shem Tov goes on to say that in the same way, a worshiper who finds that his endeavors to concentrate are being disturbed by someone speaking should consider: “Why did G‑d bring me here, where this talker is disturbing my praye...
