MOSHIACH IN THE PARSHA
Hashem spoke to Moshe... take a census of all the Yidden.
Rashi explains that Hashem counted the Yidden because
they are precious to Him. A census has a very deep and
meaningful significance. Every person is counted equally.
The greatest person is not more than one and the lowliest is
not less than one. This is how Hashem chose to express his
love for the Yidden. He is showing that his love for the Yidden
is not based on individual achievement or stature. These are
inyonim which are different between one person and another.
Rather, Hashem loves the Yidden on an essential level, just
because they are a Yidden. Everyone is equal on this level. All
of our individual differences and merits, which vary from one
to another, do not interfere with this essential quality which
we all share. This is true unity. I accept and love myself and
fellow just for our essential value.
Chassidus explains that one of the effects the Geulah will
have on the world is the revelation of Hashem's essence.
Atzmus will be revealed and seen and the etzem of every Yid
will be revealed and seen. This essence we all share exists
beyond our external differences. At that time when it will be
revealed, we will all live and embody the above mentioned
true unity.
However, how can we choose to taste the Geulah and actually
begin the process of releaving the essential connnection
shared by all Yidden? This is accomplished by cultivating
within ourselves this unity and connection. Meaning, we
must appreciate the value of another Yid, an essential value
that transcends all of our differences.
May our efforts cause Moshiach to come immediately!

In the Sicha of the 10th of Teves 5741 the Rebbe spoke a long sicha about the will of Yaakov to tell his children the Keitz, and why he didn't.
After the Sicha the Manichim wrote to the Rebbe a few questions:
If Yaakov would tell them the Keitz โ that itโs basically a long time after Yaakovโs time (as we see that now itโs the 10th on Teves
5741 and Moshiach is not here yet), so why he wanted to revel them the Keitz, in a time that it will only make them depress.
what is the advantage of reveling the keitz? ?ืืืืื ืื ืชืืขืืช ืืืืืืื : On this question the Rebbe added in his hand writing
And they continue writing from what they understood in the sicha: So we have to say that if Yaakov would tell them the keitz,
so since they will know the time of the keitz they will work more and add more and there avoda, and through that they will be
redeem faster.
The manichim wrote on this part: we dint understand if the meaning is that Yaakov would say an earlier keitz, or he will tell
them the keitz on the time of Yetzias Mitzraim (that was supposed to
be a Geulah Nitzchis), and the Yidden with adding and there work they
would redeem before the time (keitz) that Yaakov told them (the same
way - toady we have โBeitaโ that this is the time-keitz, and โAchishenaโ
โ before the keitz).
On this question the Rebbe wrote sharply:
ืืคืืื ืืืชืืื ืืืืชืจ โ ืฉื"ื ืฆืจืื ืืคืจื )ืืืืจื ืืืชืจ ืืขืฉืจ ืฉื ื ืืืืื( ืืืื ืืื ืื'!!
Itโs very surprising and puzzling โ that we need to explain (after more
than 10 years of learning) and if not vechulu!!

Chassidim recount the following story which provides the background behind a particularly unusual sicha of the Rebbe
(al pi hashmuah):
On the second day of Shavuos 5751 Rabbi Shuchat went on Tahalucha to a prominent Shul in Boro Park intending to give
over there a sicha from the Rebbe. To his dismay however the Gabai of the Shul barred him from doing so, pestering him with
questions in regard to the belief of Chassidei Chabad that the Rebbe is Melech HaMoshiach and threatening that he would not
let him speak unless he denounced this belief. After the Tahaluchaโs would come back it was customary that Rabbi Dovid Raskin
a"h, long-time Director of Tzach, would give over a report to Rabbi Hodokov a"h to tell the Rebbe regarding the hatzlochah
of the Tahaluchos throughout New York City. This Rabbi Shuchat, who happened to be related to Rabbi Hodokov, related his
unpleasant experience to him who consequently related it to the Rebbe together with the report of Rabbi Raskin.
The next day by the Farbrengen the Rebbe spoke at length in very strong terms regarding someone who had made fun of
Moshiach Tzidkeinu during the second day of Shavuos (part of this sicha was later edited by the Rebbe and is presented below).
The Rebbe started off saying that the whole concept of making leitzonus is something which is totally negated in Yiddishkeit
and especially making leitzonus from Moshiach that through doing this one covers over their neshomoh, preventing it from
revealing itself. Bโemes however, this Jew is not at fault at all being that Yidden are already found in Golus for 1,900 years
and how can Hashem come with any claim against him when we were born in Golus and raised in Golus and bโmeilah are
โGolusmenchenโ, rachmona litzlan!
The Rebbe ended off saying that he does not want to speak at length about such a distressing matter and that Hashem should
help that this person should do teshuvah for this terrible deed which this will be achieved through him learning properly Toras
HaChassidus.

LIVING LESSONS
A boy once went into Yechidus on the day of his Bar Mitzvah. He asked
the Rebbe if he would live until Moshiach comes. The Rebbe replied, "if
you really live with Moshiach, you will indeed merit to do so".
