היום יום

One of the Alter Rebbe's early teachings, then called verter[1] (lit. "words," short sayings):

Sh'ma Yisrael[2] - a Jew[3] senses[4] that

Havayeh[5] Elokeinu - our strength and life[6] is beyond nature,[7] and

Havayeh Echad - Havayeh is One.

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.

See Sivan 15.

Lit. "Hear, O Israel."

From the word Yisrael, one of Israel.

מsh'ma, "hear," "listen," or "comprehend"; hence, "senses."

See Tishrei 3 and footnotes.

Or "vitality," "life-force."

Havayeh, G‑d transcendent, above nature, is Elokeinu, "our G‑d" - our strength and life. Viz. Tishrei 3.

אחת מתורות הראשונות של רבינו הזקן - ונקראו אז בשם "ווערטער": שמע ישראל - א איד דערהערט - הוי'[ה] אלקינו - אז כוחנו וחיותינו איז דאס למעלה מן הטבע, און - הוי'[ה] אחד.
