Living with the Parsha and the Stimulus for Redemption

הפצת המיינות חוצה | December 10, 2025

And all this specifically, when we learn this concept in the weekly Parsha; as the Alter Rebbe instructed that we must “Live with the Parsha of the week”. For then there is a unique stimulus, that as a result of being engaged in the study of Torah and in the performance of Mitzvohs we will merit Mamosh speedily in our days the third Beis Hamikdosh.

The Alter Rebbe instructed us to live with the times. One must live with the Torah portion of the week and the particular Parsha of the day. One should not only study the weekly portion every day but live with it. This principle is strongly reflected in the oral teachings of Chabad the consistent links of contemplation of the Divine and its practical application to time-relevant themes, so that Chassidus Chabad is imbued with a strong sense of immediate relevance and urgency. The Biblical stories of the Patriarchs, the various laws of the Torah that are read and studied each week, and the seasonal holidays, are all understood to reflect mystical, and practical themes that are re-enacted in the daily lives of every Jew.
