You don’t have to worry about losing your accomplishments, possessions and connections in the Redemption through Moshiach. You won’t leave it behind. Everything good from the exile will come with you into the Redemption; it will be freed and elevated, its true G-dly purpose will be revealed. The Redemption is made out of the exile itself and depends on our work in exile. That’s why the word Geulah-Redemption is made up of the same letters as the word Golah-exile. There is just the letter Alef added, which represents the “Alufo Shel Olam” – G-d, the Master of the world. When we reveal G-d in the world of exile, we transform it into Geulah-Redemption! Look for ways to utilize your business, possessions and connections to reveal the honor of G-d!
(See talk of the Lubavitcher Rebbe King Moshiach Shlita, Acharei-Kedoshim 5751 (1991))
