Hayom Yom 17 Sivan - Divine service involves transforming physicality into a vessel for G‑dliness

The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman · Jun 1, 2026 · 3m

נִיט הֲנָאָה האָבּעֶן פוּן עוֹלָם הַזֶּה אִין פוּלעֶן זִין

Not to derive satisfaction from this world in the fullest sense

הוּא רַק הֲכָנָה טוֹבָה לַעֲבוֹדָה

is only a good preparatory step toward Divine service.

עִנְיַן הָעֲבוֹדָה הוּא לַעֲשׂוֹת הַגַּשְׁמִי כְּלִי לֵאלֹקוּת

Divine service itself involves transforming physicality into a vessel for G‑dliness.
