בְּקִדּוּשׁ הַלַּיְלָה: שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ וְאַחַר כָּךְ לֵשֵׁב בַּסּוּכָּה
When reciting Kiddush at night, the blessing Shehecheyanu precedes the blessing leishev basukkah.
בְּמִנְחָה אֵין אוֹמְרִים הוֹדוּ, אֲבָל אוֹמְרִים פָּתַח אֵלִיָּהוּ
Before the Afternoon Service we do not recite the psalm beginning Hodu, but we do recite the passage beginning Pasach Eliyahu.
הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק סִפֵּר
The Tzemach Tzedek related:
תּקס"ט האָבּעֶן מִיר געֶהעֶרט פוּן זֵיידעֶן דעֶם זעֶקסטעֶן מאָל
“In 5569 (1808), for the sixth time, we heard my grandfather [the Alter Rebbe]
דעֶם וּשְׁאַבְתֶּם מַיִם — הָרִאשׁוֹן — פון לִקּוּטֵי תּוֹרָה
deliver the first of the [two] maamarim in Likkutei Torah that are entitled U’She’avtem Mayim (“And you shall draw water [in joy from the wellsprings of deliverance]”).
אוּן עֶס אִיז געֶוועֶן עַל דֶּרֶךְ וִוי דִי גְמָרָא זאָגט (יְרוּשַׁלְמִי סוּכָּה פֶּרֶק ה' הֲלָכָה א') שֶׁמִשָּׁם שׁוֹאֲבִים
The experience was reminiscent of the comment of the Sages (Talmud Yerushalmi, Sukkah 5:1), ‘From there they drew [ruach hakodesh].’
יוֹנָה האָט מְקַבֵּל געֶוועֶן בְּשִׂמְחַת בֵּית הַשּׁוֹאֵבָה גִּלּוּי הַנְּבוּאָה
At Simchas Beis HaShoevah, Yonah received prophetic revelation.
מִיר האָבּעֶן מְקַבֵּל געֶוועֶן עַד אֵין סוֹף
[When we heard the above maamar], we received an infinite revelation — ad Ein Sof.
דעֶר סוֹף אִיז אַז מָשִׁיחַ וועֶט קוּמעֶן
And in the end, Mashiach will come,
שֶׁנָּעוּץ תְּחִלָּתָן בְּסוֹפָן
for ‘the beginning is rooted in the end.’”
