Book Title Bringing Heaven Down to Earth
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
« Previous Next »

346. Living Jews

The sages tell us that our father Jacob never died. “Since his children are alive, he is alive.”

Each and every Jew is the personification of his father Jacob, and the heart of each and every Jew is alive and beating strong. To say about any one of them that he is spiritually dead is to pronounce our father Jacob dead. If to you it appears that way, the fault is in you, not in the Jew you observe.

G‑d sees only good in them. He will make great miracles for them and they will be safe.

Living Jews
Thank you so very much for these kind and encouraging words. I am so grateful and fortunate to be a Jew. The Torah teaches us that man was created in God's image. Again and again in the Bible (See Psalms 78:38, Exodus 33:19m Deuteronomy 8:18) God is depicted as being "full of compassion, forgiving of iniquity and a God who does not destroy." The Torah states (Esodus 15:2): This is my God, and I will glorify Him. Abba Shaul (Shabbat 133b) commented on this verse: "Emulate him. Just as God is compassionate and merciful, so too, you should be compassionate and merciful." Taken from the book I just finished reading The Chesed Boomerag by Jack Doueck. A must read for everyone.

So for example I can be a Jewish Man who rapes my child and that is ok just because I was born a Jew? Then I guess G d won't punish me because I am Jewish?

Jacob really never died !
But Abraham and Izaak did. Because their heritage had ended.

This is one of the most wonderful point of our faith. We all are told and know ourselves we fall short of G-d's glory. But HaShem works such a great salvation and redemption that we can say this amazing truth: G-d sees only good in us. Of course when I identify with you I consider the circumcision of the heart and the fulfillment on that day ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying let us go with you for we hear G-d is with you.
Blessed are the living Jews through all the ages. Amen.
