Day 20 of the Omer
רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן קִבֵּל מֵרַבִּי מָרְדְּכַי הַצַּדִּיק שֶׁשָּׁמַע מֵהַבַּעַל שֵׁם טוֹב
The Alter Rebbe received the following teaching from the saintly R. Mordechai, who heard it from the Baal Shem Tov:
עֶס קוּמט אַראָפּ אַ נְשָׁמָה אוֹיף דעֶר וועֶלט
“A soul can descend into This World
אוּן לעֶבְּט אָפּ זִיבּעֶצִיג אַכצִיג יאָהר
and live its seventy or eighty years —
צוּלִיבּ טאָן אַ אִידעֶן אַ טוֹבָה בְּגַשְׁמִיּוּת
just in order to do a favor for a fellow Jew in material matters,
וּבִפְרָט אִין רוּחָנִיּוּת
and how much more so, in spiritual matters.”
