Geulah Depends on Achdus

Geulah Depends on Achdus:

Sefer Imrei Noam explains this pasuk by quoting the Sefarim Hakedoshim’s words on the verse (Bereishis 49:1): “Gather, and I will tell you what will occur to you at the end of days.” They explain that Yaakov was teaching his sons that they must gather together and be united. If they do this, they will merit redemption, as Yerushalaim was only destroyed because of sinas chinam (Yoma 9B).

The Imrei Noam says that the word “eicha” symbolizes the destruction of the Bais Hamikdosh. Moshe was saying that he could carry the “eicha” on his own. He could rectify the problems that caused the Churban. All they have to do is gather as one and be united. The only burden on Klal Yisroel is to remove the strife and discord of sinas chinam.
