Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated l’iluy nishmat Esther bat Jamilla a’h and Moshe ben Esther a’h. May their neshamas bask in the Divine radiance of the Shechinah HaKedosha together with all of the righteous souls who have departed from this world, Amen.
In every Jewish Neshama lies the knowledge that the Geula is coming.
Every moment of Galut prepares us for the Geula. The Tanya HaKadosh (chapter 37) teaches that every thought, deed and speech we utter in this lowly world essentially elevates and redeems another holy spark. By considering these times of Galut as a preparatory phase, it may become easier to confront the difficulties of the current exile.
The Ba’al Shem Tov HaKadosh teaches that every single Jew can swim over a river ‘with a handkerchief”, if he has sufficient emuna that this is all he needs. In this world, we are here on a mission that transcends nature. Emuna needs to be as real as our own existence, as tangible as our own bodies. Emuna is Hashem’s gift given to the Jewish people, forged as a result of being created and animated by a G-dly soul.
The Jewish people are a great nation on a G-dly mission. We are working towards the final redemption. Our final redemption is completely dependent on our emuna. Unlike the past, Hashem has promised that this redemption will be permanent, it will not be followed by another exile. This is it folks! Hold on to your emuna and keep your ears open for the final blasts of the Shofar heralding the Mashiach!
