Book Title Anticipating the Redemption

Lehavin Inyan Techiyas Hameisim - Part VII

Even the revelation of the Era of Mashiach will reflect [only] the light of sovev kol almin. Therefore, even in this era, there will be different levels of revelation (as explained above). The revelation of the Resurrection, however, will (as a whole) be the same for all Jews.1 For in the Era of Resurrection the essence of the Or Ein Sof that transcends [all possibilities of] division will be revealed.

There will be two aspects to this revelation:

a) The revelation of the essence of the Or Ein Sof that [the Jewish people] have drawn down through their observance of the mitzvos. This will raise the Jewish people themselves to a higher level.2

b) The revelation of the innate [G-dliness] of the Jewish people, that they are — “the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, in which to take pride.”

This quality of the Jewish people is even loftier than the revelation of G-dliness that they draw down through their study of the Torah and their observance of the mitzvos. For the source of Jewish souls is G-d’s essence (higher than the source of the Torah and its mitzvos), and similarly, the Jewish body was cho­sen by G-d’s essence.3

FOOTNOTES
1. Likkutei Torah, Shelach 46d; the series of maamarim 5672, [entitled BeShaah She­Hikdimu, ] Vol. II, p. 1,112; see there.
2. To explain by referring to a similar concept. It is well known that [a soul] cannot attain the revelation of the Resurrection of the Dead without first receiving the revelation of Gan Eden. (See at length in the discourse entitled HaYosheves BaGanim 5713 ch. 8 — Sefer HaMaamarim Meluket II, p. 235). So, too with regard to the revelation of the Resurrection of the Dead itself: First, there must be the revelation associated with the observance of the mitzvos. Afterwards, it is possible for the source of Jewish souls as they are rooted in G-d’s essence to be revealed.
3. Tanya, ch. 49 (end of p. 69a ff). See also Toras Shalom, p. 120.
