Accuracy – Halacha and prayer

דיוק – הלכה ותפילה

The Rebbe taught that the exact wording of prayer and halachic formulas matters: different formulations reflect different levels of halachic obligation, and even the ideal practice has several gradations. He clarified details of saying Shema correctly, including the word "Emes" and completing the 248 words, and the custom of saying Tehillim 91 at bedtime. He described the great merit of correcting Sifrei Torah, citing the Zohar and Tikkunei Zohar, while stressing that this does not exempt a person from daily study of Nigleh and Chassidus.
