B"H, I just heard on a hotline from Rebbetzin Kalminovitch an outstanding dream that a big tzaddik had this year:
HaRav Posek from Boro Park had a dream about the Gedolei Yisroel who were niftar this year.
The Gedolei
Yisroel were by the Beis Dein shel Ma'ala and were begging Hashem
Yisborach to look at how much we have worked on ourselves and how much
we as Klal Yisroel have grown this year. They were saying that - Look
how many Yidden got rid of the tumah in their homes and how much we
really want to be connected to Hashem.
They were
begging and begging the Eibeshter to end this galus and bring Moshiach.
Suddenly a loud voice was heard saying: "Do Bnei Yisroel really want
Hashem's Name to be known and full of kedusha in the world? What about
how people are acting - especially in shul, talking during Kedusha and
not giving kavod to the shul? Do they really want it?" And then they
decided to come up with a conclusion that this year - taf shin ayin
gimmel - is a big eis ratzon and Moshiach is really able to come and
Hashem wants to bring him.
There is just
one more point: Hashem will test us this year in a huge way to see if
we really want Moshiach, if we are doing things for the kavod of
shamayim or for the kavod of ourselves c"v. This year could be the geula
(be'ezras Hashem).
This tzaddik
woke up in a sweat. He was so shaken up and couldn't believe what he had
heard and seen. He was shaking from real fear.
Can
we imagine that this is where we are up to? Moshiach is at the doorstep
and every single Yid has the power to show Hashem: "I just want to do
mitzvos for You to bring kavod to Your Name," and then we will hasten
the geula.
Imagine
the sound of the shofar and YOUR being here to witness this day. It's
beyond imagination that we could be alive to really experience this day.
Rebbetzin
Kalminovitch said that when such a strong rain falls, it is a sign that
Hashem Yisborach wants us to change so that we can be zoche to realize
that the geula is so close. It's in your hands. Wake up and see: "How
can I do a mitzvah and realize that I just want to bring kavod to
Hashem's Name. Let's all take this lesson to heart and realize that we
really need to wake up and shake ourselves back into reality!
