Torah
A thought for every day of the Hebrew year, from the Rebbe’s book. It is the same entry every year, on the same Hebrew date.
10 Tamuz 5786
In the early period of his leadership the Alter Rebbe taught: "The footsteps of man are directed by G‑d."[1] When a Jew comes to a particular place it is for an (inner Divine) intent and purpose - to perform a mitzva, whether a mitzva between man and G‑d or a mitzva between man and his fellow-man. A Jew is G‑d's messenger. Wherever a messenger (shaliach) may be, he represents the power of the meshalei'ach, the one who sent him.[2] The superior quality that souls possess, higher than the angels (who are also "messengers"), is that souls are messengers by virtue of Torah.
Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory.
Tehillim 37:23.

רבינו הזקן בתחילת נשיאותו אמר תורה: מה' מצעדי גבר כוננו, אז א איד קומט אין א ארט, איז עס צוליב א כוונה טאן א מצוה, הן א מצוה שבין אדם למקום והן א מצוה שבין אדם לחבירו. א איד איז א שליח של מעלה, א שליח וואו ער איז, איז ער דער כח המשלח, דער יתרון המעלה אין נשמות לגבי מלאכים - וואס בא נשמות איז דאס על פי התורה.
