Beis Moshiach Magazine

The Rebbe himself accompanies his shluchim, “not just ‘a shtikl Rebbe – part of the Rebbe.’ Indeed, the Rebbe, in his entirety, goes with each of the shluchim.” The degree of caution with which one must, therefore, employ in his behavior is astounding: “They must know that when the Rebbe goes with them, he personally oversees every single movement they make, and he inspects their work in fulfilling the shlichus. Thus, it is imperative to fulfill the shlichus inscrutably.”

THE ELUSIVE PURSUIT OF TRUTH

January 31, 2013 |

Parsha Thought |

Moshiach is one whose entire being is permeated with Torah. His inside is just like his outside. As such he will usher in the age that will be deluged with the knowledge of G-d. No part of the human being will be left outside of the water. This knowledge will totally permeate our entire being. This coincides with the letter Mem of the word Emes.
