“He, Too, Is Alive”
Living Torah
"He, Too, Is Alive"Torah expects a tzaddik to not be satisfied with his own righteousness; his mission is to
influence his fellow Jews to follow G‑d’s path, and to help them become in turn sources of
inspiration to others as well.
“He, Too, Is Alive”
Disc 50, Program 199
Event Date: 10 Shevat 5735 - January 22, 1975
Torah expects a tzaddik to not be satisfied with his own righteousness; his mission is to influence his fellow Jews to follow G‑d’s path, and to help them become in turn sources of inspiration to others as well. But at what point does a tzaddik know if he succeeded in the mission? During his lifetime, it is possible that his students follow him only because they fear his presence. But what about after the tzaddik’s passing—when his presence continues, but in a concealed manner? Only then do the true colors of his students become revealed. The Talmud states: “Just as his children are alive, so is he alive.” When the Rebbe’s influence lives within us—and through us, enlivens those around us—then “he too, is alive” with even greater presence and vitality than before. And he blesses and empowers us spiritually and physically in all our endeavors. |
