Hayom Yom 6 Tammuz - Transcendent lights of Mitzvos and Torah

The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman · Jun 21, 2026 · 9m

הַמִּצְוֹת נִמְשָׁכוֹת עַל יְדֵי הַמַּקִּיף שֶׁבַּמִּצְוֹת עַצְמָם

[The spiritual influence evoked by] the mitzvos is drawn down by means of the transcendent light generated by the mitzvos themselves.

מִצְוַת צְדָקָה, עַל דֶּרֶךְ מָשָׁל, הִיא מִצְוָה כּוֹלֶלֶת

For example, the mitzvah of tzedakah is a comprehensive mitzvah,

אֲשֶׁר כָּל הַמִּצְוֹת נִקְרָאוֹת בְּשֵׁם צְדָקָה

as is evidenced by the fact that all the mitzvos are called “tzedakah.”

וּמֵהַאי טַעְמָא נָכוֹן בִּמְאֹד לָתֵת קוֹדֶם כָּל מִצְוָה פְּרוּטָה לִצְדָקָה

For this reason, it is most appropriate to contribute a coin for charity…
