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.
25 Nisan 5787
The individual's avoda must be commensurate with his character and innate qualities. There may be one who can drill pearls or polish gems but works at baking bread (the analogy in the realm of avoda may be easily understood). Though baking bread is a most necessary craft and occupation, this person is considered to have committed a "sin."[1]
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.
Cheit or sin, is also translated as "deficiency."
Footnotes
העבודה היא בכל אדם לפי מהותו ומעלתו. מי שיש בידו לנקוב מרגליות או ללטוש אבנים טובות ועוסק בעבודת מלאכת אפית לחם, - ומובן דוגמת כ"ז [כל זה] בעבודה - הגם שהיא עבודה ומלאכה הנצרכת במאד, בכל זה לחטא יחשב לאיש ההוא.
