WHEN A SHLIACH COMBINES HIS 10 SOUL ATTRIBUTES TO HIS SHLICHUS-WORK – THE OBJECTIVE OF HIS SHLICHUS BECOMES FULFILLED... THE COMING OF MOSHIACH!
WHEN A SHLIACH COMBINES HIS 10 SOUL ATTRIBUTES TO HIS SHLICHUS-WORK – THE OBJECTIVE OF HIS SHLICHUS BECOMES FULFILLED... THE COMING OF MOSHIACH!
One of the primary topics of the Convention of Shluchim is the emphasis on the issue of Shlichus. The Convention of the Shluchim Shlita, both, those who merited and were appointed in the earlier years and also the Shluchim who merited and were appointed recently, so that they will seek advice and counsel amongst themselves, suggestions and recommendations how to fulfill with greater force and intensity the objective of Shlichus, including also that they should be examples that others should emulate them - that they too should join the avodas haShlichus.
To elaborate - regarding the issue of Shlichus: Each and every one of the Jewish people is a Shluchoi shel Adam (ha'elyon) komoso [a persons agent is like himself] (Kidushin 41b. Likkutei Torah Vayikra 1c. Likkutei Sichos v. 13 p. 280) to the extent that is His actual agent. (Likkutei Sichos v. 25 p. 329) and his shlichus is "I was created to serve my Creator" (End of Kiddushin) through fulfilling Torah and mitzvos, which are also called emissaries of Hashem – "You should honor the mitzvos because they are my emmisaries" (Tanchuma Vayigash 6) to the extent that the person is completing the Divine plan to make for Him, blessed be He, a dwelling place through revealing in each and every thing in the world it's true existence "all that the Holy One, blessed be He, created in His world, He created solely for His glory" (Avos 6;11).
And the ultimate fulfillment of the Shlichus of each and every Jew is in the Days of Moshiach when the prophecy will be fulfilled "and the glory of Hashem will be revealed and all flesh will see that the mouth of Hashem spoke", the revelation of G-dliness in the entire world, a dwelling place for Hashem Yisborach.
This explains the remez in that the (Hebrew) word Shliach with an additional Yud (10) is the numerical value of the (Hebrew) word Moshiach.
When the Shliach adds a Yud, i.e., when he adds the ten attributes of his soul to his Shlichus work, and most importantly to influence others, to the extent of influencing the entire Jewish people who are divided into ten general categories – that is when it becomes fulfilled the purpose and objective of his mission to it's fullest – the coming of Moshiach.
This is relevant to each and every one of the Jewish people, but it is most emphasized in actuality and openly by those who are called "Shluchim" because this is their constant occupation in actuality.
May it Be Hashems will – this is the main thing – that through this gathering there will be added encouragement and strength in the avodas haShlichus, with greater power and intensity, until it will bring about the ultimate objective of avodas haShlichus "Shliach" with an added "Yud" equals the numerical value of "Moshiach" – the coming of Dovid malka Meshicha.
