A Family Shlichut

We are all preparing for the time of Moshiach when it will be a, “Yom Shekulo Shabbat, a time that will be like one long Shabbat”. This special avodah (service), of preparing ourselves for the geula (redemption) is incumbent upon everyone in the household and needs to be a family avodah.

We must make sure that our entire family is permeated with this special shlichut as the Rebbe gave this shlichut to every person. In the words of the Rebbe (Chayei Sara 5752): “Since this is the Divine service of the time, it's understood this applies to every Jew without any exception whatsoever.”
