The mandate of the whole of Creation is stated almost immediately. “It should be light.”
Meaning that all the world—even the darkness—should become a source of light and wisdom.That mandate He put in our hands.

The table is set,the feast of Moshiach is being served with the Ancient Wine,the Leviathan and the Wild Ox—and we are sitting at it.All that’s left is for us to open our eyes and see.

on their own initiative until they shine as “a constant lamp,”
without any change or variation even from the
perspective of the revealed powers“ #Rebbe תשמ"א
„His service involved arousing and revealing the
faith that stems from the essence of the soul possessed
by each and every Jew in a manner that afterwards, they will be able to continue to carry out their Divine service
Sometimes you see that things have been taken out of your hands and are following a supernatural order.
At this point, let go of the steering wheel. Just do your best at what you have to do and stay out of G‑d’s way. Relax. Trust Him. He runs an entire universe. #TzviFreeman
Good deeds, like light bulbs, need electricity.
Good deeds, like limbs of a living body, need life.
Good deeds, like a human being, require a mind and a heart.
A good deed has to connect you to your source above. If it is connected, it glows with life. #Rebbe Parshat Korach
✨THE REBBE'S WISDOM ON OLD AGE & RETIREMENT.
🕯️This year, Tuesday, July 9th, the 3rd of the Jewish month of Tammuz, marks 30 years since the passing of the Rebbe.
In honor of this anniversary, we've collected 9 samples of the Rebbe’s revolutionary teachings and initiatives.
Miraculously, there is a power that can join them in harmony, and it is called wisdom.
Wisdom is the capacity to see the truth as it is
and the quietness to allow it entry without compromise.
Va’erah 5721:4. Torat Menachem 5751 volume 2, pg. 349 #Rebbe#quote#TzviFreeman
Faith is impotent because it remains forever obscure. Faith needs intellect.
But they are opposites, as contradictory as yes and no:
Faith accepts; Intellect questions.
Faith surrenders; Intellect struggles.
There are those who mistakenly categorize Jews as religious and non-religious.
According to our Torah, there is no Jew who is not religious. All Jews are believers from birth.
Superficial, external factors may bring them to go against their true selves. But their hearts are always awake and open to Torah and mitzvahs. They are only waiting for someone to press the right buttons.
Trusting in the One Above doesn’t mean waiting for miracles. It means having confidence in what you are doing right now. Because you know He has set you on a good path and given you the right ideas. He invests in you and He trusts in you. And you should, too. #Rebbe#TzviFreeman
