What is the Shema? Raise your eyes higher and still higher, to perceive a level beyond intellect, and grasp this itself with your intellect.
— Hayom Yom 19 Cheshvan
A response of the Alter Rebbe, the founder of Chabad, in a audience with a Chasid:
Chassidicnl thought is Sh'ma Yisrael. The word sh'ma is an acronym of s'u marom eineichem, "Raise your eyes on high."
The verse says "on high" (marom), and not "to the heavens" (shamayim).
"On high" means higher and still higher, to attain a level beyond intellect, and grasp this itself intellectually - as the verse concludes, "and see Who created these."
We are compared to the stars twinkling in the high heavens. By their light, even he who walks in the darkness of night shall not blunder.

"Torah-study every day is crucial to life itself. This applies not only to the soul of the one studying but also to the souls of his family. For then (through Torah-study), the atmosphere of the home becomes an atmosphere of Torah and piety."

Something else very interesting;
There is a custom to say through much of the high holiday period Chapter 27 in Psalms.
Sapir Cohen, who was a hostage, decided to say it for the first time in 2023, hoping it would bring blessings of healing.
She learned it by heart, but after a while began to wonder: why am I saying this? It's not about healing, it's about war.
In the psalm?
The word chamas.
"Do not deliver me to the desires of my adversaries, for false witnesses and speakers of evil (chamas) have risen against me.
The day the custom is to finish saying the Psalm?
Hoshana Raba, the eve of October 7th.
🙏What was the prayer that kept Sapir Cohen strong during 55 days of H*mas?
The summer of 2023, Sapir Cohen was worried about her health. Told by doctors that her worrying was worse for her health, she began to look for something to help her feel at ease.
She saw on Instagram that reciting the words of Psalm 27, from the 1st of Elul until Hoshanah Raba, the last day of Sukkot, would bring healing.
Not one who normally prayed, the psalm became her daily prayer. On the last day of Sukkot, October 6th, she finished.
We had the merit to meet Sapir and her boyfriend Sasha's mother, Yelena, during our trip to Israel. She shared her story with us.
Sasha remains in H*mas captivity.
The custom to say Psalm 27 begins now. May its power help bring freedom for the hostages, among them Alexander Ben Leah, Sasha Troufanov, and bless each and every one of us with a sweet new year.

Every potential idea we express has an effect either in physical form or on a spiritual plane that can be perceived only with higher and more refined senses.
A resident of Mezibuz had a quarrel with another. Once, while in the Baal Shem Tov's shul, he shouted that he would tear the other fellow to pieces like a fish.
The Baal Shem Tov told his pupils to hold one another's hand, and to stand near him with their eyes closed. Then he placed his holy hands on the shoulders of the two disciples next to him. Suddenly the disciples began shouting in great terror: They had seen that fellow actually dismembering his disputant.
This incident shows clearly that every potential has an effect - either in physical form or on a spiritual plane that can be perceived only with higher and more refined senses.
