We all have learned and heard the vort about the hakofos on shmini atzeres and simchas Torah, that the word “hakofos” is from the root “hakofoh”, or credit, because at this time we have the opportunity to obtain all brochos from the Ribono Shel Olam on credit. We have a credit card with unlimited credit on it, and all we need to do is to charge.
So I guess the first thing is to realize that this is real. The Rebbe will deliver on all of our requests, he will come through with all of the brochos promised in so many sichos from so many years, and he will not remain a baal chov . But it is up to us to grab the opportunity!
Imagine you win a lottery, and the prize is payment of the balance of your credit card bill for a month. Why, that could be a very valuable prize. But it depends on the recipient: If he doesn’t charge his credit card during that period, then the prize is worthless.
