הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק אָמַר בְּסִיּוּם סִפּוּר הַנִּזְכָּר לְעֵיל (כ' אֲדָר שֵׁנִי)
After relaying the narration that appears in the entry for 20 Adar II above, the Tzemach Tzedek said:
זְקֵנִי — רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן — הוּא מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּנוּ דְּתוֹרַת חֲסִידוּת חַבַּ"ד
“My grandfather, the Alter Rebbe, was the Moshe Rabbeinu of the teachings of Chabad Chassidus.
בְּמֹשֶׁה אָמְרוּ רַזַ"ל שֶׁהַתּוֹרָה נִתְּנָה לוֹ, אֶלָּא שֶׁנָּהַג בָּהּ טוּב עַיִן
With regard to Moshe, our Sages said: ‘The Torah was given to him, but he was generous [and gave it to the entire Jewish people].’
אֵשׁ תָּמִיד הָאֱלֹקִי הַנּוֹגֵעַ לְתוֹרַת חֲסִידוּת חַבַּ"ד נָתַן הָרַב הַמַּגִּיד לִזְקֵנִי
The Maggid [of Mezritch] gave my grandfather the constant Divine fire of the teachings of Chassidus Chabad.
וּזְקֵנִי נָהַג בָּהּ טוּב עַיִן וַיִּתְּנָהּ לְכָל הָעוֹסְקִים בְּתוֹרַת הַחֲסִידוּת
My grandfather was generous with it and gave it to all those whose study Chassidus.
בָּרוּר לִי אֲשֶׁר כָּל הַלּוֹמֵד עִם חֲבֵרוֹ וּמְעוֹרֵר בּוֹ אֶת הָאֵשׁ תָּמִיד הָאֱלֹקִי
“It is clear to me that whoever teaches a fellow Jew and arouses in him the constant G‑dly fire
הִנֵּה שְׂכָרוֹ אִתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר זְכוּתוֹ זֶה לֹא תִכְבֶּה לָעַד
will receive his just reward; his merit will never be extinguished.”
