May it be Hashem's will that by increasing in the Simchat Beit HaShoeva celebrations, we will hasten the true and complete Redemption. Joy breaks through all boundaries. How much more, the joy of Simchat Beit HaShoeva, as our Sages said, "whoever has not seen the rejoicing of Simchat Beit HaShoeva has never seen rejoicing in his life."

Surely, then, this joy has the power to break through all limitations—first and foremost, the limitations of exile—until no trace of exile remains.

adapted from a talk of the Rebbe on the first night of Sukkot, 5749 (1988)
