In a special lesson for the seventh of Pesach, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Jacobson delves into one of the deepest secrets in Hasidic teachings – a secret that completely changes the way we understand redemption, identity, and personal meaning.
The secret lies within a familiar - yet surprising - prayer that we say when opening the Ark of the Covenant in the three rites.
Through the teachings of the great men of Israel – the Holy Ari, the Baal Shem Tov, the Minchat Elazar of Munkatz, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe – we discover that the question "Who is the Messiah?" holds a surprise.
When you see Messiah, you won't see "him." You will see yourself. You will feel for the first time that you have a mission, that you have infinite value, and that the redemption of the entire world depends on your daily work.
A lesson that touches the deepest root of the question: What am I doing here and what is the meaning of my life?.
