Thursday Iyar 22, 5703 37th day of the Omer **
Torah Lessons (5703)	Chumash: B'chukotai, Chamishi with Rashi. Tehillim: 106-107. Tanya: Ch. 50. All the (p. 261)...interpose,...G-d forbid. (p.263).

Several of the early chassidim had a Farbrengen sometime between 5544-47 (1784-87) and the core of the discussion was this:

The Rebbe (the Alter Rebbe) had accomplished something novel - that we are not alone. At one time, the Master - Rosh Yeshiva or Talmudic sage - was "alone" and his disciples were "alone." The Chassidic way instituted by the Rebbe is a tremendous Divine achievement, that the Rebbe is not alone, nor are the Chassidim alone.

Day two of week 6

Gevurah of yesod

Examine the discipline of your bonding. Bonding must be done with discretion and careful consideration with whom and with what you bond. Even the healthiest and closest bonding needs "time out", a respect for each individual's space.

Do I overbond? Am I too dependent on the one I bond with? Is he too dependent on me? Do I bond out of desperation? Do I bond with healthy, wholesome people?

Exercise for the day: Review the discipline in your bonding experiences to see if it needs adjustment.
