This approach reflects how in Toras HaChassidus, we must utilize gashmius in a measured way to achieve aliyah b'ruchnius while maintaining proper geidarim, as the Rebbe constantly emphasized.

On Shabbos Parshas Shemini, Shabbos Mevorchim Chodesh Iyar 5723 (1963), the Rebbe instituted a special takana regarding the proper use of mashke. The Rebbe was metaken that anash, particularly those under arboim shana and especially bochurim, should significantly limit their mashke consumption.

The Rebbe repeatedly emphasized this takana over the years, sometimes speaking with particular ~~tuchecha~~ about the importance of being zahir with mashke. While some connect the takana to a certain unfortunate incident involving excessive drinking, others maintain it came purely b'isarusa d'leila, unrelated to any specific event.

The Rebbe repeatedly emphasized this takana over the years, sometimes speaking with particular fervor about the importance of being zahir with mashke. While some connect the takana to a certain unfortunate incident involving excessive drinking, others maintain it came purely b'isarusa d'leila, unrelated to any specific event.

The Rebbe provided several alternatives to physical mashke. He explained that "yeina shel Torah" - the wine of Chassidus - serves as the true mashke. For example, regarding drinking daled kosos on Acharon Shel Pesach, the Rebbe instructed that if needed, one could accomplish this b'ruchnius by chazering four maamarim by heart, noting that being bari b'ruchnius would lead to being bari b'gashmius.

Even for those over forty, where the takana was less stringent, the Rebbe emphasized that yeina shel Torah is the proper "drink" - and from this mashke one should certainly drink b'shefa (abundantly).
