While it is true that a human being doesn’t have the circuitry to take the Divine, nonetheless, because the Divine is infinite, which means, without any limitation, He is able to rewire the circuitry.

God’s ultimate intention is that His Revelation should manifest within You.

Dirah Bitachtoinim which is the whole goal of creation, is that God can feel comfortable within YOU.

This of-course is the whole purpose of Matan Torah, which was the ability to draw down God within our reality…

To the extent that God and the Jewish people become one.

Moshe Rabeinu was wondering how he would be able to beat the darkness of Pharaoh, but Hashem said, that I am the one that creates everything, and therefore we can transform anything.

As mentioned, the entire purpose of the entire creation – and therefore the command of God to, “Go to Pharaoh,” leading to Matan Torah, leading to the Messianic State, in which the Divine voice…, can come to every person.

Every Jew in this world, is like the Cohen Gadoil, for he is one with Hashem.

The whole goal is, that as we are one with Hashem, which is not only based on our soul, but also as Hashem combines himself within us, in our body, therefore, we have zero spiritual and physical limitations.

Just as when they left Egypt, Hashem put the love of the Egyptians in their heart, and they gave them precious vessels, so too, as the entire purpose of God is a transformation of everyone and everything, therefore we will leave this Golus, both with the love of the Gentiles, as well as heading completely – with healthy bodies and souls, into everlasting life.

After all the work that was done in the spreading of Torah and Chassidus and the Seven noahide laws, the world is ready to take the unity with God!

We see this also in how Gentile nations are often helping Jewish people, including Russia, that at one point was evil, and now is assisting the Jewish people.

Practically speaking, one must increase in the learning of Torah and doing the Mitzvos bihhidur, and encouraging others, especially learning the Torah of the Previous Rebbe, as well as adding, based on what was deficient, due to his speech difficulty.

The Previous Rebbe showed great love to all Jews, men, women and children, and he specialized in advancing the education of women, which was unique for a Rebbe, and this teaches us that we need to reach out to all Jews, and particularly to women, who have the great Mitzvah of lighting Shabbos candles, whereby they usher in the Shabbos, to spreading the Holy Light of the Shabbos candles, bringing light to their husbands and their children.

As the Previous Rebbe did, we should do our service of God – healthily and happily.

We should prepare Farbrengens for Yud Shvat.

The inner reason why the Jewish people had to go into exile, is because firstly there are sparks of Holiness within the world, as well as within the Gentiles, that needed to be elevated; as it says, that the Jew’s went into exile to refine the Sparks, and furthermore, through the destruction of Pharaoh which represents ego and opposition to God, is the construction of Israel and Jerusalem, as the name “Jeru-salem” which is complete obedience to God.

In the destruction of Egypt and that which antagonize to Holiness and Godliness, there is two stages: namely, there is the removal of the good within the bad, and then finally there is the actual destruction of the bad – which allows for infinite good.

This concept of refining the Sparks from Egypt and its destruction is also the story of the Jewish people and their travails and travels through the past exiles.

The way we hasten the coming of Moshiach – by understanding that the universe has a macro and a micro, and we are the micro, and by fixing the micro, we fix the macro.

The spiritual lesson from the destruction of Pharaoh, is that within us, we have the power of Desire, and then we have desires, such as egoism, which is evil.

When we destroy egoism – all of its ramifications, such as anger, Vengeance, jealousy, fall away, as well.

Just as a parent, due to the love for a child, gives their child little things, not waiting to explain to them to desire big things -, how much more so, if the child wants something significant… so, all the Jewish people throughout all the generations, want most of all the coming of Moshiach! and therefore, Hahem will speedily bring it.

All the signs point to, that Moshiach is about to come, and our job is to be prepared, standing in our Spiritual Finest Clothing.

May we not need to speak about the signs of the coming of the Moshiach, because the Moshiach will be here! and all will see clearly.

The ultimate intent of the giving of the Torah, is that we should realize that God is our personal guide.

Chabad is the ability, through understanding Godliness to be personally inspired.

The idea of Dirah Bitachtoinim, which is that Hashem wants to be at home within us, means, that there’s a combination, not only of the Divine will, but as that descends into the human mind.

The goal of God’s descent, is that the Torah so permeates the individual, that the individual becomes a walking Torah.

The ultimate goal is that the unification with God, not only is an intellectual one, but every part of the body is able to instinctively react to the Divine will.

By feeling our soul and understanding that it comes from a place which is beyond our intellect – that comes into an intellect, this means, that we now, through the intellect have the ability, to go beyond it.

The ultimate is the ability to integrate that which is beyond the Mind, into the mind.

The order of Divine revelation is Klal, Prat and Klal – the general idea of the specifics, which leads to the deepest understanding of what the general idea always was.

When we study the Torah of the Rebbe – as the Rebbe puts Himself in his Torah, we merge with the Rebbe.

As we have completed refining all of the Sparks – Avodas Habirurim – therefore Moshiach is about to come.

The ability to integrate God, comes like a soldier, from the fact that your whole identity is here only to obey.

Many are asking, what is the new Avodah that must emanate from being after 40 Years of the Rebbe being Rebbe? And to begin with, it begins with the idea that we have to perceive ourselves not based on our limited limitations, but on the Rebbe’s infinite abilities.

In the study of Torah and in the activities of the Rebbe, we have to do it not based on our own capacities but on the Rebbes.

In other words, we have to BE the Rebbe, but this must come into the specifics, and the details of our Avodas Hashem, service of God.

IN OTHER WORDS, EVERY PERSON HAS TO BE LIKE A NEW INSTITUTION, AN INSTITUTION THAT OPERATES LIKE THE REBBE.

This includes establishing new institutions, and doing them in the way of the Previous Rebbe; and all places that have an institution should establish a New Institution, and as many as they can; and we have the promise of the Rebbe, with a promise of Hashem, that we will be able to cover the expenses.

Because everything begins with Torah, we should have new institutions of Torah, that disseminate the teachings of the Rebbes, especially the Previous Rebbe.

On Yud Shvat, we should add in the giving of Tzeddakah, in a number of 40.

5749

We try to have an Aliyah to the Torah on the Shabbos before Yud Shvat.

On a Yor Tzeit, the soul goes infinitely higher.

Through the elevation which occurs to the Yor Tzeit, this elevates all those who are connected to him, as it says, that the Rebbe, is everyone.

This Shabbos, seeing that it blesses the days in the week, and in this week there’s Yud Shvat, therefore, the elevation to the generation begins on the Shabbos.

In general, every Shabbos, all the universes, and time itself, gets elevated.

Whenever we have an Aliyah at the Torah, this elevates not only the essence of our soul, not only its abilities, but even its expressions.

After 40 Years of Moshe teaching us in the desert, there became an infinite elevation both in Moshe and the Jewish people

After 40 years, we begin to comprehend God.

After 40 years, not only do you gain the knowledge, but the Rebbe becomes integrated into your personality.

In addition to the comprehension that we get, God gives us a purer heart, to gain even greater comprehension.

In God’s gift, He gives the ability that this comprehension should not only remain in the intellect, but should permeate the heart, and one’s Souls expression, of thought, speech, and action

So considering that we are after 40 Years of the Rebbe’s leadership, therefore we also begin this new stage.

Every Jew achieves a new understanding of their Rebbe, to the extent that they “get” their Rebbe, though the Rebbe being Rebbe is obviously still higher than them

This then elevates completely the individual.

The Shabbos before Yud Shvat, because Shabbos we receive a pleasure from our extra soul and extra joy, and because the nature of joy is it expands our thought process, our emotions, our intellect, so therefore, as we are getting elevated, this elevates us, in a very expansive way.

Our Generation parallels the generation that left Egypt, and after 40 Years of the Rebbe, we are now ready to go into the Messianic age, with great great miracles.

When we put on tefillin we must meditate that we are going to dedicate our emotions and mind to God.

From the mind and the heart it must travel to our thinking patterns, our speaking patterns, and our actions.

Teffilin enhances our physical Health and Longevity.

Through the father / husband putting on Tefillin, he brings these blessings, such as longevity, to his wife and children.

Of-course the spiritual blessing of being the servant of God, is also transferred.

When God gives the Jew, physical abundance, a Jew uses the physical, for Spiritual abundance.

Obviously when God gives a Jew good health and long life, he uses every moment in the service of God.

A meaningful day, is a day which is filled with Torah and Mitzvos.

As we have already gotten from the, Rebbe a new heart and mind, therefore we have to undertake to dedicate ourselves to the mission of the Rebbe, spreading Torah and Mitzvahs, on an entirely higher plane.

We have to fill our days with the study of Torah and the performance of Mitzvahs in the best way possible.

We have to influence others using gentle pressure, that they too should likewise.

This is alluded to in the name of the previous Rebbe, Yosef Yitzchok – that we add from those who are distant to become children of God, and it’s done in a way of joy.

We must on the day of the Yor Tzeit – and in the day before, add in the prayers of the day, and giving charity, doing Mitzvas in general, and especially spreading Chassidus and all that the Previous Rebbe demands.

We should also learn the Mammer of Basi Ligani, of the Previous Rebbe and this year’s chapter, especially the 19th Chapter.

When we learn, we should do so in a way that we come to the essence of the Previous Rebbe’s point.

We should try to do this learning in public, or at least by two people, and we should precede this with giving charity, that assists in the comprehension.

We must also work on fulfilling all the directives of the Previous Rebbe, whether it’s in learning Torah, for example learning Chitas, also in prayer and in acts of kindness.

Especially if one merited to hear Direct instructions from the Rebbe, they should imagine as if the Rebbe is telling it to them, this very moment.

Additionally one should increase the individual learning sessions that one has undertaken to do for oneself.

Starting a new era of 40 years…. therefore a person has to think about what is the completely higher level of spreading Judaism and goodness and kindness they will understand, and God certainly gives them the ability to succeed.

A person should never feel that they don’t have an ability to succeed, because God has given everyone – and this is the very structure of reality, that when you wish to do what’s right, you will find both what is, and a mechanism.

While it is true that everybody has to have a Mashpia, a Rabbi Chassidic Mentor, that person is to be used, only after you have exhausted your own understanding.

Practically speaking, we’re coming to the 15th of Shvat, which we should be careful to do the customs, such as eating the fruit in general and especially the fruits of Israel.

We should ideally gather and Have Not only in our home the eating of the fruits, but also in a public way, and speak words of Torah regarding them.

In General we have to see ourselves and others as trees which we are continuously growing, and giving our fruits, which are acts of goodness and kindness.

May we going to Israel, when we will do all the time Torah and Mitzvos in all aspects of our mind and our heart our thought, speech and action, in the most perfect way.

5748

When it comes to the fact that we’re all created to serve Hashem, we’re exactly the same, however each individual service, is unique.

The meaning that the Rebbe of the generation, is the heart of the people, is, that in addition to the fact that, everybody receives individual instructions, and has an individual service of God, nonetheless, the Rebbe shares, his unique Universal goal.

As the Rebbe is the role-model of the generation, so therefore by us imitating him, we understand God’s direction for the generation.

The unique contribution of the Rebbe, is the Gateway, through which all are Mitzvahs ascend to Hashem.

From the Previous Rebbe, we can learn a. to never be satisfied by prior achievements.

B. everything that we do, whether it’s for ourselves or others, should be done with joy and gladness.

Additionally it should be done in such a way, that it causes the other person to be joyous.

Everything done in the service of a Hashem, should be done with pleasure and joy.

When Moshiach comes, as evil will totally dissipate, the job of the Jew will be to add ever-higher Chassidus and inspiration, which the nations of the world, will eagerly seek.

As the future Messianic era depends on what we do now, therefore as our generation is the generation charged with bringing Moshiach – this Avodas Hashem of serving Hashem through always adding, and doing so with the joy, is so very important.

The Practical directive is that we have to prepare for Yud Shvat, and we have to strengthen ourselves to go in the Previous Rebbe’s way, mainly, that the Torah that we learn, especially in his teachings, should have practical applications on our behavior, and how we do the Mitzvahs, and especially in how we spread Torah and Chassidus.

We should prepare to make a grand Farbreng, with as many participants as possible.

The goal is not separating yourself from reality, but using reality for spirituality.

When you do this, Hashem continues to bestow blessings of health, wealth, and Nachas, as we’re using God’s reality for him.

Even though it says, that everybody will have to pass away even for an hour before TichiyasHameisim / Resurrection, but by spiritually killing yourself, in other words, humbling yourself, to like a servant, always do the will of Hashem, therefore, you have no need for the physical – for you already have the Ego’s – death.
