Tending G-d’s Garden

The last discourse that Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, published before his passing commences with the verse “I have come into My garden.” The Previous Rebbe explains that this refers to our world, the innermost dwelling place of G-d.

Yet looking around, we see a different picture – good just can’t seem to prevail, and we are tempted to view the world as a wild jungle rather than a garden of G-d. Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak, however, proclaims that there is more to our world than meets the eye.
