Selfless Unity and Divine Speech

Lessons in Likutay Torah | December 31, 2025

Lessons in Torah Or

This is the meaning of the end of the verse, “What should we do for our sister on the day that people talk about her?”

The simple meaning of the verse is (as mentioned previously) that Hashem is asking what to do for the Jewish People, his “sister,” when they discuss the coming of Moshiach?

Here, we are explaining it differently: “מַה נַּעֲשֶׂה לַאֲחוֹתֵנוּ”—the level of ‘מַה—selfless transparency to Hashem’ has made our sister become united with Hashem, בַּיּוֹם—in the day, i.e., revelation of Hashem, בָּהּ—when the speech of Hashem enters her.”

Meaning that when a Jew selflessly unites himself with Hashem with Torah study (which is the Torah study that comes after passionate prayers of awakening a yearning for Hashem’s Essence), he attains the ability to say over the words of the Torah as though he is just a conduit for Hashem’s words to flow through him.

And this will suffice for one who understands.
