Hayom Yom 9 Adar II The intense longing to be bound closely1 (to a Rebbe) can be satisfied only by learning maamarim of Chassidus which the Rebbe delivers as oral discourses and writes down; simply seeing him2 is not enough. FOOTNOTES *. On this day, in 5700 (1940), the Previous Rebbe o.b.m. arrived in the U.S.A. The day marks the essential beginning of the dissemination of the wellsprings (of chassidus) to the outside in this lower hemisphere; a quotation - according to the memory of a listener - from the Rebbe of righteous memory, from a sicha of Shabbat Parshat Tetzaveh, 5745 (1985), in which the great significance and import of the day is explained at length. 1. See Sivan 24. 2. Lit. Beholding his face.
