"A Fast is More Powerful Than a Sword." (Video, 2:57)
When we fast this week on the Tenth of Teves (Tues. Dec. 14th), we can elevate our power of speech and prayer to the purity of innocent children learning Torah. The breath of these children renders the hands of Esav powerless. Text: Likutey Halakhos, Yoreh Deyah 1, Shechita 4, Para. 9. This halakha is based on Likutey Moharan 37. Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
