Nissan has arrived. Chaza”l teach us that just like we were redeemed in Nissan, so too, the future geula will be in Nissan. Perhaps you are asking yourself: “But many people now in Klal Yisroel are very far from Torah and mitzvos. Why would we deserve the final geulah now?”
You should know that Bnei Yisroel asked this kind of question to Moshe Rabbeinu in Mitzrayim! The Midrash [Midrash Rabba on Shir HaShirim, verse - 2:8] relates that when Moshe Rabbeinu said to Bnei Yisroel, “In this month you will be redeemed,” they replied to him: “Moshe Rabbeinu – how [is it possible] that we will be redeemed this month?! We don’t have good deeds in our hands.” To that, Moshe Rabbeinu replied with this important answer—which will also answer your question: “Since Hashem desires to redeem you, He does not look at your bad deeds. And at whom does He look? At the tzadikim among you and at their deeds...”
What do we learn from this Midrash? First of all, we learn that geula can truly come any day now, irrelevant where Klal Yisroel is holding in their Torah observance. Second, geula comes due to the righteous deeds of tzadikim. That means because of you, yes - you, the reader, and others like you, the geula will arrive. This should give each one of us the encouragement and the motivation to be good and to do good.
