Tanya for the 23rd of Cheshvan כ''ג מר חשון

This is a reasoned message of encouragement in which the Alter Rebbe urges his Chasidim not to reduce their fixed annual commitment to charity for the Holy Land, even though their circumstances may have altered. He reminds them once again (as above in Epistle 21) that what counts is not only the total of one’s contributions over a particular period but also the multiplicity of benevolent action. The potent repercussions of this oft-repeated activity resound all the way up to the World of Atzilut where they impregnate the sefirah of malchut—the mother, so to speak, of all created worlds.
