Is there a Jewish book with a few words of wisdom for every day of the year? Something that will enrich the reader? Something uplifting if one is tired of wearily pushing through a day that is spiritual dull?

Now it is here in a new English translation - the Chassidic classic HaYom Yom. This daily companion taps into Chassidic wisdom to help tackle life's tasks in a meaningful way. The Chassidic insights of the book is a bridge that will connect the reader's daily tasks with spirituality.

Generations of Rebbes and chassidim come alive before the reader's eyes; davening (praying) becomes rich; study becomes a consuming endeavor; and life, a mission.

The book was compiled by the Lubavitcher Rebbe and is now being published with the Hebrew and Yiddish text set new and with vowels. But the reader will find not only a fresh new English translation of each daily teaching, but also, under a separate heading, a creative comment or story or mini-farbrengen that will help him find a point of contact between that idyllic chassidic teaching - and the gray realities of his own life in the busy here and now. Moreover, for those who would like to pursue an idea to new horizons, numerous sources and cross references are provided.

Speakers often use daily entries as a theme for their talks. And many parents who seek to give their homes a chassidisher or spiritual tone read it aloud every evening when the family is gathered together at the dinner table. And then the day is not merely a block of time: it is charged with purpose and direction.
