19 Adar Taste of Chitas (chumas, Tanya, Tehillim) and more

Taste of Chitas, 19 Adar
Reflection on Tanya: When a Jew performs a mitzvah (commandment) even the animalistic, vital part of his soul is embraced by Endless Light and in this process, he has the power to transform ordinary physical objects into complete vehicles of holiness.
Chumash: Shemos 34:24 24. When I drive out nations from before you and I widen your border, no one will covet your land when you go up, to appear before the Lord, your God, three times each year Rashi Summary: Since I will drive out the other nations and widen your borders, you will be farther away and won't be able to bring offerings to me as often, so I am establishing these three pilgrammage festivals so you can bring offerings to Me.
Tehillim:90:14 Satiate us at morning with Your Kindness, then we shall sing and rejoice throughout our days. Rashi explains this verse is referring to the Time of Redemption after the long dark night of exile. Then we will sing over all our days, even the ones that caused us distress. (Ibn Ezrah)
Rambam Sefer haMitzvos Summary: Positive Commandment 200 Timely Payment of Wages "Give him his wage on the day it is due"�Deuteronomy 24:15. It is important to pay workers on time. Day workers must be paid by the following night and night workers must be paid by the following day. This applies to a Jewish or a non-Jewish worker. Negative Mitzvah 238 Postponing paying a worker's wages The wages of a hired worker shall not be left with you overnight until the morning"�Leviticus 19:13. While the positive mitzvah applies to a non-Jewish or a Jewish worker, the negative commandment applies to a Jew only.
HaYom Yom: Even ordinary Chassidim were lucid in their knowledge of Tanach. They had a customary procedure: After davening Shacharit they studied Mishna; then while folding tallit and tefillin they would recite a certain set portion of Tanach, so apportioned that they concluded Tanach every three months.

R. Moshe Meisels related: The (Alter) Rebbe taught us that the alef of Chassidus is to use our natural traits and instincts in avoda. The beginning of avoda is to employ the natural characteristics of man's powers, for example the natural dominion of mind over heart
