Summary

רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן בִּתְחִלַּת נְשִׂיאוּתוֹ אָמַר תּוֹרָה Soon after he undertook the leadership of the chassidic community, the Alter Rebbe delivered the following teaching: מֵה' מִצְעֲדֵי גֶבֶר כּוֹנָנוּ [It is written:] “A man’s steps are made firm by G‑d.” אַז אַ אִיד קוּמט אִין אַ אָרט When a Jew arrives at a particular place, אִיז עֶס צוּלִיבּ אַ כַּוָּנָה טאָן אַ מִצְוָה this is for the purpose of doing a mitzvah — הֵן אַ מִצְוָה שֶׁבֵּין אָדָם לַמָּקוֹם be it a mitzvah between man and G‑d, וְהֵן אַ מִצְוָה שֶׁבֵּין אָדָם לַחֲבֵרוֹ or between man and man. אַ אִיד אִיז אַ שָׁלִיחַ שֶׁל מַעְלָה A Jew is an agent of [G‑d] Above, אַ שָׁלִיחַ וואוּ עֶר אִיז, אִיז עֶר דעֶר כֹּחַ הַמְשַׁלֵּחַ and wherever an agent is, he derives his power from the Sender. דעֶר יִתְרוֹן הַמַּעֲלָה אִין נְשָׁמוֹת לְגַבֵּי מַלְאָכִים The superiority of souls over angels וואָס בּאַ נְשָׁמוֹת אִיז דאָס עַל פִּי הַתּוֹרָה [in this regard] lies in the fact that [G‑d confers His agency to] the souls through the Torah.
