    From One Shliach To Another: Fifteen Minutes Before Shabbos

    In honor of this year’s Kinus Hashluchim, Chabadinfo in collaboration with Beis Moshiach Magazine Presents: From One Shliach To Another, a daily OP-ED throughout the kinus where five Shluchim will give advice to other shluchim. Today Rabbi Dudi Caplin of Cozumel, Mexico shares his advice for his fellow Shluchim • Full Article

    By Rabbi Dudi Caplin of Cozumel, Mexico

    When I tried to answer the question that I asked my fellow shluchim – what is the meaning of the only shlichus that the Rebbe wants, the words “kabbolas pnei Moshiach” linked in my mind with the familiar words, “Lecha dodi likras kallah pnei Shabbos nekablah.” Accepting, welcoming Shabbos.

    There is a time in the week when you cannot yet accept Shabbos, even if you really want to, on Thursday or even Friday morning. When the sun sets and Shabbos enters you have no choice; want it or not, Shabbos is here.

    There is an intermediate time, at plag ha’mincha, when the holiness of Shabbos is in the world. Now, it’s your decision! If you want to connect to this kedusha of Shabbos, you can. You can accept Shabbos and rise above the weekday, above the matters of the world.

    The Rebbe revealed to us that we are precisely at this time. Moshiach was revealed to the world and he accepted the mission to redeem us. The Geula is already here in the world. Now, it’s our decision. It’s in our hands! We have the ability to rise above the exile and exile mentality and live with the Geula already here in the world.

    The Real Solution to Problems in Life

    There is a point here that we cannot overlook. How can we get all the people we come in contact with, tourists, mekuravim, the community, to accept the Geula in their lives right now?

    In order to live Geula ourselves and to get everybody around us to do so too, we need to connect to the Rebbe, to Moshiach who was revealed here in the world, i.e. to accept the malchus of the Rebbe MH”M.

    Personally speaking, the Chabad House in Cozumel took upon itself a good hachlata to put an electronic guest book (iPad) for every Jew to accept the Rebbe’s malchus by writing his name along with his good hachlata to connect to the Rebbe in his personal life.

    The main thing is that we welcome Moshiach right now by seeing the Rebbe MH”M redeeming us with the Geula shleima now!
