The Rebeb Rashab writes: The 19th of Kislev…the festival on which “He redeemed our soul in peace,” and our soul’s illumination and vitality were given to us, this day is Rosh Hashana for Chassidus bequeathed us by our sacred forebears, identical with the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov. “This day is the beginning of Your works,” the fulfillment of the true intention behind the creation of man on earth, which is to call forth revelation of the light of the inward part of our holy Torah. On this day, that light is called forth, in a general way, for the entire year. It is our duty, on this day, to awaken our hearts with an innermost, elemental desire and will, in the very core of our heart, that G-d illuminate our souls with the light of His Inner Torah. “From the depths I called to You, O G-d,” to elicit the depth and inwardness of G-d’s Torah and G-d’s mitzvot from the inwardness and essence of the Infinite (May He be blessed), to illuminate the inwardness of our souls. That all our being (meaning our total existence, the essence and the extensions) be devoted to Him alone, to banish from within us any of the natural traits that are evil and unworthy. Instead, all our works and affairs (our Avoda, meaning – davening and Torah and mitzvot, and our worldly undertakings necessary for the maintenance of the body), be with sincere intention for the sake of Heaven, as G-d wishes. May G-d the Merciful Father have compassion upon us and lead us along the good and righteous path and may we “see His face in uprightness.Tehillim 11:7.
