During World War I, Jews in Russia were forced to relocate, and our city was flooded with refugees. My mother headed the committees to organize aid and shelter. Her incredible devotion day-in and day-out has been etched in my memory for all my life. The entire Jewish People has been “exiled from our land” – every one of us is a refugee. Many countries today allow us to live comfortable lives – materially and spiritually, and the Jewish community today is thriving and growing in its commitment to Torah and Mitzvos. But all this cannot compare to the completeness of Torah, Mitzvos, and Divine revelation which we will have with the true and complete Redemption. When we truly recognize what we are missing, we will sincerely beseech G-d to “Speedily cause the scion of David Your servant to flourish” – for all flesh to perceive the word of G-d, even a moment sooner. |
