Something remarkable is happening. President Trump called on all Jewish Americans to observe Shabbos as part of the National 250th Anniversary of the Independence of America. The Shabbos that President Trump chose is the same Shabbos the Rebbe designated to observe in unity.
President Trump issued a formal official announcement in honour of Jewish American Heritage Month.
“If the Jewish people will keep at least one Shabbos properly, Moshiach will come immediately.”
There are some ways we could hasten the Moshiach; these involve some special mitzvos: lighting candles, Kiddush on wine, teshuvah...
“And you will return to HaShem with all your heart and with all your soul, and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you this day, you and your children, then HaShem will bring back your exiles, and He will have mercy upon you. He will once again gather you from all the nations where HaShem had scattered you” — Devarim 30:2–3
Torah learning is equivalent to all mitzvos. By the virtue of the Torah they will return to the Holy Land and be gathered in from golus — Zohar III:270a.
Tzedakah is also equivalent. Compassion for the needy brings us compassion from HaShem and hastens the coming of the Moshiach and the days of our geulah.
“Tzion shall be redeemed through justice and her penitent through righteousness” — Yeshayahu 1:27
The Jewish people are to become a unity; Israel will be redeemed when they shall be a singular band, as it is said: “In those days and in that time, says HaShem, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together...” — Jeremiah 50:4
The footsteps of Moshiach are growing louder. President Trump asks all American Jews to celebrate Shabbos for the 250th Anniversary of the United States. George Washington’s letter to the Rhode Island Synagogue. The blessings for following the Torah.
Sweet & Good Torah
