Chof Zayin Adar and the Russia-Ukraine War: Musings of an American Shliach
In the spirit of Farbrengen talk, being a Shliach in America, I have seen many times that by too many Shluchim, their shlichus has become some type of enterprise that they own and eventually, the power begins to affect them. They become overly concerned with their image and building up their Mosad, even at the cost of doing things that are not in sync with the Rebbe’s Ratzon • Click to Read
I was thinking about how Bihashgacha Pratis this year on 27 Adar, we are all watching the war in Ukraine and what we can learn from it.
On one hand we are being shown an egomaniac who is ready to do anything to have more power, and on the other hand, we see tremendous Mesiros Nefesh from the Ukrainian people and even people in Russia who are demonstrating against the government.
In the spirit of Farbrengen talk, being a Shliach in America, I have seen many times that by too many Shluchim, their Shlichus has become some type of enterprise that they own and eventually, the power begins to affect them. They become overly concerned with their image and building up their Mosad, even at the cost of doing things that are not in sync with the Rebbe’s Ratzon.
For example, not allowing Shluchim into neighboring cities that are sizeable and really need their own Shliach, or not to be totally dedicated to Mivtzah Moshiach and the Sichos of Nun Alef and Nun Beis, in order to impress Balabatim or even sometimes their superiors.
Let us rededicate ourselves, on this day that requires a Cheshbon Nefesh, to overcome these challenges and have Mesiros Nefesh for the Rebbe’s Ratzon. Let’s Daven that with this Zechus, Moshiach should come immediately and make peace between all the nations.
