Episode Seventy-Five, entitled “EXILIC EXCEPTION | REVEALING REDEMPTION” uses real-life stories, and the promise of the Zohar’s legendary author, RASHBI (Rebbi Shimon bar Yochai) to deliver a poignantly powerful yet practical, redemptive lesson.
This Episode focuses on how Rebbi Shimon embodied a unique fusion of the loftiest levels of learning, the most ordinary realities of everyday living. Beyond the historic narrative, the Rebbe views this as a dynamic teaching with a highly relevant directive.
In piecing seemingly disparate events and happenings out of antiquity a glowing picture emerges. One that can necessarily illuminate our path forward to accelerate our progress towards redemption.
While ostensibly this idea appears to be radically novel, it turns out that everything new, when true, is actually old — and incredibly it was hiding in plain sight all along!
Beyond simply yearning for Geula, it’s time for us to put those sentiments to work by increasing the knowledge and wisdom that can actively speed up the process.
The key takeaway revolves around developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for importance of studying the mystical dimension of Torah. And, why that is increasingly relevant in these final days before Moshiach’s coming!
Like so many of the Rebbe’s inspired ruminations, this ingenious exploration, explanation, and innovation comprises an exquisite weave. Seemingly unrelated strands of thought and threads of teaching are skillfully, and seamlessly woven into sacred, and stunning Torah tapestry.
From the time-honored classic Talmudic sources to contemporary Chasidic insights — and everything in between — the emergent novel perspective is profoundly illuminating.
This Episode about disseminating Torah secrets in a manner that ignores disparities, and bridges extremes to hasten the Geula is dedicated L’eiluy Nishmat: Tzadik ben Yisroel Eliezer HaLevi aka “Charlie Buttons” Nassofer OBM on the last day of his Shiva.
It comprises the Seventy Fifth offering of our ongoing study series about the (final) Redemption, referred to as the Coming of Moshiach (Messiah); bringing us practical guidance and instruction of how to get us there faster!
