Yidden, Especially Shluchim, Can Affect the World

You have an important role to play

Following is a free translation from the sicha of Toldos, the week after the Kinus Hashluchim 5750:

"… Thus, our efforts in Torah and mitzvos — including our efforts to spread the observance of the seven commandments — will have a direct effect on spreading peace and stability throughout the world. In this light, the International Conference of Shluchim which involved representatives from countries all over the world takes on a new significance. Their efforts in spreading G‑d’s truth throughout the world will contribute to the positive changes that are occurring throughout the world and prepare the world for the ultimate change, the coming of Mashiach…"

The Solution is Saying הריני מקבל and אך צדיקים

Two months after Simchas Torah 5744, the Rebbe came out with a campaign to say Hareini Mekabel before davening and Ach Tzadikim afterward. The Rebbe explicitly stated that he was doing so because of the instability in the world, מלכויות מתגרות זו בזו.

The Rebbe spoke about the increased friction between various nations in recent months and weeks. The way we can better the situation is (not by reading all about the newest developments, but) by adding in tefillah, Torah, and gemilus chassadim.

The Rebbe therefore suggested that no matter your nusach, you should add the passage of Hareini Mekabel before davening and the possuk of Ach Tzaddikim afterward. By doing so, you are askin Hashem to bring unity and peace to Yidden and to the world at large.

Hardships Should Be Abolished!

During a Purim farbrengen, the Rebbe said that all the hardships and sufferings that take place in the land of the birthplace of our Rabbeim should be abolished, and not only abolished, but ונהפוך הוא!

We will transform them.
