Marking the first anniversary of the tragic Simchas Torah attacks, Sichos in English publishes a Maamar titled “The Sound of the Great Shofar,” discussing the meaning of events that awaken the Jewish Soul.
The events of last year’s Simchas Torah attack sent shock waves throughout the Jewish world, spurring a deep awakening of countless neshamos and a collective display of Jewish pride, connection, and practice.
One year onwards, Sichos in English is sharing an impactful maamar that discusses a relevant theme, entitled VeHayah BaYom HaHu of Shabbos Bereishis 5728. In this maamar, the Rebbe discusses the stirring and awakening that took place during and after the Six-Day War, building upon a message of the Frierdiker Rebbe about the sounding of the great shofar of Mashiach during World War II.
As discussed in the maamar itself, a Rebbe’s words could also be understood as alluding to events that would unfold decades in the future. The Torah contains the transcendent light of the first day of creation that enabled Adam HaRishon to see from one end of the world to the other and to the end of time. Accordingly, a master of the Torah has the potential to tap into this hidden light and infuse it into his teachings. As such, the Rebbe explains, a maamar delivered by the Frierdiker Rebbe many years earlier could provide guidance for contemporary situations.
In light of the recent awakening and increased activity in the Jewish world, SIE feels it to be worthwhile to publish this Maamar, making it available in English for the first time. Perhaps the lessons of the Maamar shine a ray of light and provide inspiration and direction for us to draw upon in these rousing times.
May we imminently merit the culmination of the true and complete Geulah.
