L’Chaim | June 27, 2025

Although man will still have free will in the Messianic Age, he will have every inducement to do good and follow G-d's teachings.

In a special letter that the Rebbe wrote addressed to all Jews everywhere, the Rebbe discussed the impact of our present month, Nissan, on the daily life of a Jew throughout the entire year.

Nissan is referred to as the month of geula -- Redemption: There are two dimensions of Divine intervention -- G-d's governing of the world within the "natural" order and that of a supra-natural miraculous order which breaks through all natural barriers of the physical world. The latter form of Divine intervention is associated with the month of Nissan.

For, it was in Nissan that we witnessed the miraculous deliverance from Egyptian bondage. The exodus from Egypt came about because of the revealed miracles that G-d wrought "for our ancestors and for us; He took us out from slavery to freedom."

But these revealed miracles brought about not only the exodus from the physical Egypt, but also the exodus from non-physical restraints and limitations ("Egypt" in Hebrew is "mitzraim," which is similar to "metzarim" -- restraints and limitations).

What is true of the Jewish people as a whole is true of every individual in particular. G-d performed these physical and non - physical miracles "for our ancestors and for us." Thus the exodus from Egypt -- and the month of Nissan in which it took place -- effects in each of us a personal redemption from our own natural limitations. The Rebbe concluded the letter, "And we should all merit to see the most important miracle -- the miracle of the true and complete Redemption through our Righteous Moshiach.'

In Nissan came the first redemption, and in Nissan will come the final Redemption, at which time we will see miracles that will surpass the miracles that were wrought at the Exodus from Egypt, as our Sages interpret the prophecy, "As in the days of your coming out of Egypt, I will show you wonders," namely, miracles that compared even with the miracles of the Exodus will be outstanding wonders. May it come about very soon, indeed."
