With all the above, we must conclude as we say in Shemonoh Esrei of Shachris Shabbos -
וֹשׁאֹרְבּ תֶרֶאְפִתּ ליִלְכּ .וֹלּ ָתאָרָק ןָמֱאֶנ דֶבֶע יִכּ .וֹקְלֶח תַנְתַּמְבּ הֶשׁמ חַמְשִׂי
בוּתָכְו .וֹדָיְבּ דיִרוֹה םיִנָבֲא תוֹחֻל יֵנְשׁוּ .יַניִס רַה לַע ˃יֶנָפְל וֹדְמָעְבּ .וֹלּ ָתַּתָנ
˃ֶתָרוֹתְבּ בוּתָכּ ןֵכְו .תָבַּשׁ תַריִמְשׁ םֶהָבּ-
Ne’eman means trustworthy, solid. We must watch ourselves from all the ‘isims which Rav Elchonon Wasserman said will dissolve before the arrival of Moshiach. Communism will not make all equal, Zionism will not protect the Jewish Nation, Capitalism will not satisfy the rich, and Socialism will not feed the poor. As we see in this week’s Haftorah -
ָה רַמָא הֹכּ ֵק- הָמָשְׁנ ןֵתֹנ ָהיֶאָצֱאֶצְו ץֶרָאָה עַקֹר םֶהיֵטוֹנְו םִיַמָשַּׁה אֵרוֹבּ 'ה ל
:הָּבּ םיִכְלֹהַל ַחוּרְו ָהיֶלָע םָעָל
By being careful with Shmiras Shabbos, and all Mitzvos Hashem, we will be fulfilling the purpose of creation and have the Zechus [merit] of a Geulah Shleima [speedy redemption]. Amein.
