MOSHIACH IN THE PARSHA

This Posuk is the Makor in Torah for the Chiyuv to Daven; as
we see from the Rambamโs quote in his Psak, โIt is a positive
commandment to pray daily, as it says, โAnd you shall serve
Hashem your G-dโ. From the Oral Tradition we learn that this
,โืืืขืืื ืืื ืืืืืโ , Avodah refers to Davening, as the posuk says
โAnd you shall serve Him with all your heartโ and the Gemara
explains, โwhat is the service of the heart? This is prayer.โโ
In the Gemara it says that, for the duration of Golus, Davening
was instituted in place of the Korbanos. However, there is a
fundamental difference between Korbanos and Davening;
Korbanos were only allowed to be brought by Kohanim; Levim
and Yisroelim could not perform that service. However, now,
when every Jew is in Galus, anyone, whether he is a Kohen, a
Levi, a Yisroel, or even a convert, is given the possibility and the
Zechus to connect directly to Hashem and have all of his desires
fulfilled; just the same as a Kohen serving on the Mizbayach.
However, notwithstanding the fact that we have this
opportunity in Galus, we still eagerly await and call for
Moshiachโs speedy coming, for then we will be able to connect
to Hashem in the same way and also have the Korbanos!

Presented below, is a Ksav Yad which the Rebbe wrote for himself, as a reminder
note of a subject which he wanted to address in the future.
The Rebbe questions, how was it possible for the Yidden who lived in the times of
Bar Kochva, to mistaken him as Moshiach, if they had not yet heard Eliyohu Hanavi
announce the Geulahโs arrival?
The Rebbe then answers, that it is not clear from Chazal whether Eliyohu will come
before Moshiachโs first Hisgalus, or at a later stage. Therefore it was possible for
the Yidden to believe that Bar Kochva was Moshiach, although Eliyohu had not yet
come.
)Based on Likkutei Sichos Vol. 25(
Matan Torah is compared to an
engagement, between Hashem
(the Chosson) and Yidden (the
Kallah). However, during the time
of Golus, when Hashemโs presence
is concealed, we are compared to
an Agunah - a woman who her
husband is missing, and awaits
impatiently his return. So too,
Yidden in Golus are to await
impatiently for the Geulah. When
Moshiach comes, there will be
the โโmarriageโโ, between us and
Hashem, and our connection will
be eternal.

An early Chossid once told over: When Moshiach will come and the Avos and the Shevotim, Moshe and Aharon, the Neviim,
the Tanaim, the Amoraim, the Geonim, and all of the Tzadikim of the previous generations will arise for Techias Hameisim, they
will rejoice with the simple Yidden.
For the first dance, Moshe will go out with these Yidden. And, in a heartfelt and true dance, Dovid Hamelech will go out with those
Yidden that say Tehillim!

The story goes about a certain Rosh Yeshiva who woke up in the morning perturbed by a petrifying nightmare
he had while asleep. The worst of all was that he couldn't even share it with others and thereby get consolation and
advice, it was just too terrible to repeat.
After much coaxing he was convinced to relay the scene to his wife. He ecked and becked, then finally, in a stutter, reveals
the secret: he dreamt that Hashem had passed away. His wife thought the reason was simply because he had entertained such
thoughts during the day, but he was adamant, "I haven't thought about Hashem for twenty years"!
How could it be that for one Yid it is obvious that Moshiach could come any second, based on clear-cut Halochos in
Rambam such as that with only one good deed one brings salvation to himself and the entire world, whereas to another Yid
the mere idea of Moshiach's imminent arrival seems absolutely ridicules.
Very simple: he didn't think about this concept, in a real way, for twenty years (or however many it may be). The solution:
start thinking!
You're right, Yidden cannot be redeemed unless they do Teshuvah. No worries though, in this sicha the Rebbe seems to
believe that a simple Cheshbon Hanefesh with the above conclusion would suffice to arouse someone to sincere Teshuvah.
