The Rebbe's Advice #831 - Dach or Chassidus?

In memory of Rabbi Gavriel & Rebbetzin Rivkah Holtzberg HYD - Shluchim to Mumbai, India

Chasidus is referred to as Dach, an acronym for “the words of the living G-d,” only when mentioning the word Chasidus by itself. However when mentioning the word Chasidus together with the word Nigla, the revealed part of Torah, it’s inappropriate to call Chasidus, Dach. This is because it’s implication would be that only “Chasidus” is “words of the living G-d and not “Nigla.” This isn’t so. Hence when mentioning Nigla together with Chasidus the word for Chasidus should be Chasidus and not Dach.
