28 Kislev: A Different World

A DIFFERENT WORLD In this world, when a person goes to gather figs on Shabbos, the fig says nothing. But in the Time to Come, if a person goes to gather a fig on Shabbos, it will cry out and say, “It is Shabbos today.” (Midrash Tehillim 73) When Moshiach comes, not only will Jews understand G-dly matters, but “the world will be filled with the knowledge of G-d.” This requires that even worldly matters, such as one’s personal mundane affairs, be permeated with G-dly awareness. We must come to see how Torah and G-dliness are relevant to every aspect of our lives. Sichah 19 Kislev, 5744, sec. 3
