CLD #649

 For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.

This CLD was supposed to be uploaded last night:

Rabi Nahman says:

אין שום יאוש בעולם כלל

There is no such thing as despair.

Being in the Galut already for 1,942 years you would think Am Yisrael (the Jewish nation) would give up a long time ago on the concept of staying strong and spiritually powerful to try to bring the Mashiah to redeem us, however; its quite the opposite. How many Kiruv programs are there? How many Shuls and Batei Midrashim have we built in the countries outside Israel (forget about Israel itself)? How many Gemah'im are there in Brooklyn alone? Lakewood? Los Angeles?

Did you know in Israel there is a booklet just for Gemahim (places that do all types of hessed, for example in Israel there is a number to find a place that will rent out mouse traps for extremely low prices, or will give out diapers for cheap for families in need, or places that have work tools for rent for cheap, etc.)?!

We need to look at the positive and see that there is always Hashem running the show. No matter how long we get G-d forbid Hashem is always there to pick us up. Just don't forget to scream and yell to get close to Him, because "If I am not for myself, who is for me?" (Pirkei Avot Chapter 1, Mishnah 14) Meaning if I am not going to go out there and do it, no one will do it for me. We can't expect today to go do the most serious and spiritually low sins and donate $200 to a local Shul and think G-d erases the sin. However, at the same time the power of Teshuav (repentance) can bring back the Jew to a place where he was before sin.

As Rabi Nahman says, we cannot give up! Every sin we do makes the Mashiah arrive later and every Mitzvah we do brings the Mashiah closer. Why is the Mashiah such a big deal? Because its the ultimate time in our world history that will have Hashem ruling the entire world clearly. The power of Emet (truth) will resonate throughout everyone's epidermis cells so deeply that people will literally faint from the truth of Hashem's power of the world.

B'H we should see Mashiah soon and celebrate in Yerushalayim with all the Tzadikkim. Heads up for CLD #650.
