Torah Lessons (5703)	Chumash: Vayeishev, Shlishi with Rashi. Tehillim: 83-87. Tanya: I have heard (p. 627)...suffice for the knowing. (p. 631).

Chassidus Chabad opens the gates to the chambers of Chochma and Bina, enabling one to know and to recognize - with intellectual comprehension - "He who spoke and the world came into being. [1]

It awakens the feelings of the heart so that it is aroused with the emotion engendered by that particular intellectual comprehension. [2]

And Chassidus Chabad shows the way that each individual - commensurate with his innate abilities - can "approach the Sacred," to serve G-d with his mind and heart.
