Geulah
The Story of Our Heart
“Behold, days are coming, says G-d, and I will form a covenant with the house of Yisrael and with the house of Yehudah, a new covenant. Not like the covenant that I formed with their forefathers on the day I took them by the hand to take them out of the land of Egypt ... For this is the covenant that I will form with the house of Yisrael after those days, says G-d: I will place My law in their midst and I will inscribe it upon their hearts” (Yirmiyah 31:30‑32).
We received the Torah at Sinai by way of command. Until today, we must compel ourselves to obey the Torah’s laws. In the era of redemption, we will have an entirely new relationship with the Torah. G‑d will inscribe it on our hearts, meaning that we will all desire to implement that Torah’s laws, and there will no longer be an inner struggle. In fact, the very concept of being commanded to do something in that era will be solely for the purpose of enhancing our mitzvos and our reward, due to the superiority of one who is commanded and obeys.
