Restoring the World

Just days before his passing on the tenth of Shevat in 1950, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson, the Rebbe’s father-in-law and predecessor, published a discourse titled “Basi L’gani”. The discourse expounds on many ideas from the Torah that highlight the importance of making this world a dwelling place for the Divine Presence of the Almighty.

It seems daunting; sometimes it may seem like an impossible task. But in truth, the odds are with us. The world that we’re trying to change doesn’t actually need changing at all. It’s merely a matter of uncovering the Godliness and restoring the divinity that belongs here.
