THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE REDEMPTION
BESURAS HAGEULO
The Announcement Of The Redemption
The simple lesson regarding the actions which a Jew must do to further hasten the Redemption is:
In addition to the activities in his part of the world, until it includes the whole world, to reveal that G-d is the Master of the world - in the world and in every part of the world, particularly through making use of all aspects of the world "for the sake of heaven" and in "knowing Him," so that everything in the world reveals "the glory" of G-d,
There must also be a specific increase in studying and learning the Torah - particularly the inner teachings of the Torah as revealed in the teachings of Chassidus, in a manner of comprehension and perception, in wisdom, understanding and knowledge.
And also, to have influence on others around him - through spreading Torah and Judaism, and the spreading of the wellsprings.
(From the talk of Shabbos Parshas Emor, 20 Iyar 5751)
- [The Hebrew word for "Master" used here is also the name of the first letter of the alphabet, and indicates unity and oneness. Translator's note.]
