2 Tishrei: Create A Roadmap

CREATE A ROADMAP When a mortal king builds a palace, he does not build it based only on his mental vision and plan… Rather, he creates blueprints and instructions that outline his entire plan… So too, with G-d… He created the Torah first as His blueprint for creation and created the world from it. (Midrash Rabah 1:1) Our sages say that the beginning is wedged in the end, and the end is wedged in the beginning. G-d created the Torah first and then created the world from it because Torah relates and communicates the wisdom of G-d to the mind of Man. The time is quickly approaching for that communication to be revealed to us. For that reason, the Rebbe teaches that it is not enough for us to envision and hope for Moshiach; we must actively do our part. This calls for learning about Moshiach and the Geulah, and performing mitzvos, such as giving tzedakah, with the expressed intention of hastening Moshiach’s coming.
