הַעֲבָרַת הַפַּרְשָׁה שְׁנַיִם מִקְרָא וְאֶחָד תַּרְגּוּם - פָּסוּק פָּסוּק

The review of the weekly Torah reading — twice in the original, in the Holy Tongue, and once in its Aramaic translation — should be done verse by verse.

וְקוֹרִין גַּם הַהַפְטָרָה

The haftarah should also be read [after this review].

אוֹ שְׁתֵּי הַהַפְטָרוֹת אִם הוּא שַׁבָּת ראֹשׁ חֹדֶשׁ

If there are two haftaros — such as on Shabbos Rosh Chodesh,

אוֹ פַּרְשִׁיּוֹת מְחוּבָּרוֹת וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָזֶה

or when two parshiyos are combined, or the like — both should be read.

מַעֲנֵה רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן

An answer that the Alter Rebbe gave

לְאַבְרֵךְ עִלּוּי מְצוּיָּן וּבַעַל כִּשָּׁרוֹן מְפוּרְסָם

to a brilliant young man who was well known for his outstanding natural gifts,

כְּשֶׁנִּכְנַס לִיחִידוּת שֶׁלּוֹ הָרִאשׁוֹנָה — בִּשְׁנַת תּקנ"ה בְּלִיאָזְנאָ

during the latter’s first yechidus in 5555 (1795) in Liozna:

רוּחָנִיּוּת וְגַשְׁמִיּוּת זַיינעֶן הֲפָכִים בְּעֶצֶם מַהוּתָם

“Spirituality and physicality are intrinsically opposites.

דאָס וואָס עֶס אִיז אַ מַעֲלָה אִין גַּשְׁמִיּוּת, אִיז אַ חִסָּרוֹן אִין רוּחָנִיּוּת

A material virtue is a spiritual disadvantage.

אִין גַּשְׁמִיּוּת אִיז אַ שָׂמֵחַ בְּחֶלְקוֹ דעֶר גרעֶסטעֶר בַּעַל מַעֲלָה

“Materially, one who is ‘satisfied with his lot’ is the loftiest of men,

אוּן דוּרךְ עֲבוֹדָה וועֶט אַזאַ אֵיינעֶר צוּקוּמעֶן צוּ דִי העֶכסטֶע מַדְרֵגוֹת

and his Divine service will lead him to the highest rungs.

אִין רוּחָנִיּוּת אָבּעֶר אִיז אַ שָׂמֵחַ בְּחֶלְקוֹ דעֶר גרעֶסטעֶר חִסָּרוֹן

Spiritually, by contrast, being ‘satisfied with one’s lot’ is the greatest failing.

אוּן עֶר וועֶרט, רַחֲמָנָא לִיצְלָן, אַ יוֹרֵד וְנוֹפֵל

It causes one to decline and fall [spiritually], Heaven forbid.”
