12 Tishrei: Learning How to Speak G-d's Language

LEARNING HOW TO SPEAK G-D’S LANGUAGE Do not presume that in the Messianic age any facet of the world's nature will change or there will be innovations in the work of creation. Rather, the world will continue according to its pattern. The Talmud, Berachos 34b, states: There will be no difference between the current age and the Messianic era except freedom from oppressive governments. (Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Melachim U’Milchamos 12:1-2) Two people can look at the same thing and see two very different things. To someone who can’t read, a book is merely segments of ink on paper. To one who knows what the words mean, an entire world opens before him. Our world is G-d’s magnum opus. Every act reflects Divine intent in the same way that letters, words, and sentences unite to form the plot of a book. The secrets of the Torah (found in the teachings of Chassidus) teach us the language of G-dliness, opening up our eyes to wonders that were always there but that we could never understand before.
