Hi Good Shabbos

Once again the Rebbe clarifies a new way of looking, not only at life, but all of human history and destiny
This week’s Parsha (Mishpatim) occurred when the main countries of the world, particularly the US and Russia decided in the UN to create a new era of world peace, assistance between countries, and disarmament.
In particular, the President of the US (George Bush Sr.) spoke about redirecting the money from military to food.
This in fact, the Rebbe teaches, is the beginning of the messianic prophecy that “Nations will beat their swords into plowshares” – the obvious intent of reducing arms and spending the money on food.
Though it is an obvious idea to have peace; why now?
These truly historic – hence miraculous – events, are because of the work of the Rebbes, who have spread goodness and kindness, thus shifting the paradigm of how people think, which is the work of Moshiach.
Practically, for all has not yet been accomplished, we learn four things from our Parshah:
One: people should have mediation, or a Jewish court arbitrate between them to create peace.
People should loan money interest free.
When in partnership, one should desire that the partner should succeed.
And last but not least, we should use the proceeds of our success, for increasing Synagogues, both the public, and our own private synagogues, namely, our homes, purchasing Jewish books etc. etc.
