26 Tevet 5787

In the b'racha V'lamalshinim (p. 55, "Let thee..." in English), pause slightly between ut'mageir ("crush") and v'tachnia ("and subdue"), in consonance with the kavana[1] that t'akeir ut'shabeir ut'mageir ("uproot, break, crush") refer to the three kelipot[2] that must be completely eradicated. V'tachnia ("subdue") refers to kelipat noga[3] that must be subdued, but can be purified.

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.

בברכת ולמלשינים מפסיקים קצת בין "ותמגר" לתיבת "ותכניע", מתאים להכוונה, אשר "תעקר ותשבר ותמגר" הם נגד ג' קליפות שצריכים העברה לגמרי, "ותכניע" - לנגד קליפת נוגה שצריכה הכנעה ויש בה ברור.
