* MOSHIACH MATTERS *
********************

"This is my G-d and I shall glorify Him,
my father 's G-d and I shall exalt Him"
(Exodus 15:2)

The Midrash states that at the splitting of the Reed Sea, every
Jew pointed with his finger and said, "THIS," for there was such a
prophetic manifestation of G-dliness at that time that they were
able to actually point to it.

The Midrash also notes that the children born under Egyptian
servitude were the first to perceive and recognize the Divine
manifestation.

"As in the days of your going out from Egypt, I will show
wondrous things" we read in Michah. In fact, the Divine revelation
of the Messianic Redemption will be even greater than the one in
Egypt.

Furthermore, just as at the time of the Egyptian exodus it was
the children born in exile who recognized G-d first, so it will
also be with Moshiach: the children born in the harshness of this
bitter exile will be the first to recognize the Divine
manifestation. (The Rebbe)

************************
* THE REBBE'S PROPHECY *
************************

The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson of Lubavitch, issued
a call that "THE TIME OF OUR REDEMPTION HAS ARRIVED!" and
"MOSHIACH IS ON HIS WAY!"

The Rebbe stressed that he is saying this AS A PROPHECY, and
asks us all to prepare ourselves for the Redemption, through
increasing acts of goodness and kindness.

LET US ALL HEED THE REBBE'S CALL.

* * *

What makes the Rebbe's declaration -- that Moshiach's arrival is
imminent and the time for the Redemption has arrived -- different
from those of great leaders of previous generations?

The Jewish people have believed in and awaited Moshiach's coming
since the beginning of our nation. In numerous instances throughout
Jewish history, tzaddikim (righteous people) of various generations
pointed to hints in the Torah that the promised Redemption was near
at hand. Sensing the special opportunity for Moshiach's coming,
they motivated the Jewish people to study more Torah, do more
mitzvot and repent in the hope that these actions would be what was
needed to make the Redemption happen.

In the times of the Previous Rebbe, the anticipation for the
Redemption was truly tangible. The Previous Rebbe issued an urgent
call to world Jewry: "Immediate repentance brings immediate
Redemption."

Even when the Rebbe accepted the leadership in 1950, though he
said unequivocally that our generation is the last generation to
live in exile and the first generation of the Redemption, he did
not say that we had yet reached the moment of Redemption. Only
forty years later, after sending thousands of emissaries around the
world, initiating the Mitzvah Campaigns to reinvigorate Jewish
observance, and inspiring millions, did the Rebbe proclaim, "The
time of our Redemption has arrived." This is a totally different
message that has never before been enunciated in the history of the
Jewish people.

The Midrash (Yalkut Shimoni) tells us that in a time when we
will witness an event like the Gulf War, Moshiach will tell the
Jewish people that the time of the Redemption has arrived. THIS IS
NOT A HOPE, A WISH, OR A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY, BUT A CALL TO PREPARE
TO GREET MOSHIACH!

The Rebbe has said that the time is now. The question each of us
must ask ourselves is not, "When is Moshiach coming?" but rather,
"Am I ready for Moshiach's coming today!"

* RIGHTEOUS JEWISH WOMEN *
* Adapted from the Works of the Rebbe *
***************************************

After the miraculous Splitting of the Reed Sea, as related in
the Torah portion that is read on the seventh day of Pesach, Moses
leads the Jewish men in singing their praises of G-d, and Miriam,
the prophetess, leads the women in their song of thanks.

The Torah tells us that the joy experienced by the women was far
greater than that of the men. "And all the women went out...with
tambourines and dances."

In fact, the Midrash relates that when the heavenly angels
wanted to add their voices to the "Song of the Splitting of the
Reed Sea," G-d told them that they must wait until the women had
finished.

The exile in Egypt was much harsher for the Jewish women than
for their husbands. Of all Pharaoh 's decrees against the Children
of Israel, the most pitiless was the one that broke every Jewish
mother 's heart: "Every son that is born you shall throw into the
river." The pain and suffering experienced by the Jewish women was
more intense than the hardships the men were forced to endure, and
when salvation came, the joy they felt was therefore greater as
well.

The stories in the Torah teach us lessons that apply in all
generations. Pharaoh 's decrees against the Jewish people have
appeared again and again, throughout history, in various forms.
Their aim, however, has never changed. The Egyptian Pharaoh sought
to kill Jewish babies by drowning them in the Nile; later despots
sought to destroy Jewish souls in ways equally dangerous, although
not always as obvious.

In our days, when most Jews, thank G-d, live in relative safety
and security, the decrees of Pharaoh imperil the spiritual
existence of the Jewish people. "Pharaoh" rears his head in the
guise of popular culture and the winds of arbitrary and capricious
conventional wisdom, which threaten to sever the Jewish people from
the eternal and timeless values of the Torah. "Pharaoh" seeks to
immerse and drown the minds of impressionable Jewish children in
the waters of whatever is, at the moment, trendy and fashionable.

The threat is not all that different from the one faced in
Egypt, because Jews cannot exist for long without their faith in
G-d and the study of Torah. Jewish children need a solid Jewish
education to ensure the continuation of our people.

Today, just as in Egypt, the main responsibility -- to safeguard
our greatest national treasure, our children, from negative
influences -- lies with the Jewish mother. Jewish women have,
throughout the generations, been granted the power to set the
proper tone in the home and make it a place where their children
will flourish and grow up to be good Jews.

In this way Jewish women will see true satisfaction from their
children and merit to sing G-d 's praises at the Final Redemption,
speedily in our days.

Amen.
********************
* FROM SEA TO LAND *
********************
By Rabbi Berel Bell

In the account of the splitting of the Reed Sea, the Torah
relates that "the sea was transformed into dry land." We are also
taught that this transformation took place not only in this world,
but in the spiritual worlds as well.

Obviously, there is neither sea nor land in the spiritual
realms. What, then, is the meaning of this statement?

See Any Fish?

We can understand this by first looking into the difference
between the physical land and sea. When one looks at the sea, one
sees nothing but the water that covers the life within it. This is
not the case with the land, which has various kinds of animals,
plants, and minerals that are clearly visible to the naked eye.

Another difference between sea and land is that water creatures
are, in general, totally dependent on the water for their
existence. A fish can only live out of the water for a short time.
Land creatures, however, do not need constant contact with the
land, and can therefore live in the air or elsewhere off the
ground.

These two factors are in a way connected. Since a fish depends
totally on the water for its existence, it is virtually part of the
water. This idea is reflected in Jewish law regarding immersion in
a mikvah (Jewish ritual immersion). Although the entire body being
immersed must simultaneously come in contact with the water, there
is nevertheless an opinion that if one immerses in the ocean and
bumps into a fish the immersion is still valid, as the fish is
considered to be part of the water. The fact that, to our eyes,
fish within the ocean cannot be distinguished from the water
further establishes this point.

The converse applies to the land. Since animals are not so
dependent on the land, they are considered separate from it. This
is reflected in their appearance: that they are clearly visible and
distinct from the land.

Although we are speaking in physical terms, these concepts -- of
being united with one 's life-source and of appearing to have an
independent existence -- are also applicable in the spiritual
sense.

There are planes of spiritual existence, which are compared to
the sea. In these realms there is a greater measure of revealed
G-dliness. The beings in this realm feel closer to G-d, to the
extent that they have no feeling of independent existence.

Just as fish must be in the water to live, beings on this level,
feel that their very existence is dependent on the G-dly spark that
keeps them alive. The only revealed existence is that of G-d, just
as only the water is visible in the sea.

On lower levels, though, G-dliness is not so revealed. There is
not such a feeling of total dependence on G-d; rather there is a
feeling of self-reliance and individuality. This corresponds to the
independent nature of creatures on land.

When "the sea was transformed into dry land," these two levels
came together. The closeness and nullification to G-d ("sea") was
sensed even by the lower worlds ("dry land").

This does not mean that after the sea was split, the spiritual
effect then followed. Since everything in the physical world
derives from the spiritual, the opposite is true. First there was
the spiritual transformation, when the lower levels were engulfed
by the G-dly revelation of the "sea." Then, in response, the
physical realm experienced the splitting of the sea.

The Sea Within

Within the Jewish soul there are also deeper levels that are
united with G-d and rarely revealed ("sea") and lower levels in
which the bond with G-d is not as visible ("land").

When the Jewish people came to the Reed Sea, it did not split
right away. Only Nachshon ben Aminadav had the complete faith and
self-sacrifice to jump into the water. He was in fact almost
completely under the water before it split.

In order to bring himself to this level of self-sacrifice,
Nachshon had to "split the sea" within himself; to reveal the
inner, hidden dimensions of his soul and bring them out into the
realm of action. By accomplishing this within himself, he effected
a transformation of all the spiritual worlds and the physical world
as well. So, too, every individual has this ability latent within,
and by releasing it can effect miracles here in the physical world.

recited after the Torah reading.

* Late afternoon, eat a Special Pesach Meal -- Moshiach's
Seudah.

* PESACH ENDS AFTER NIGHTFALL ON THURSDAY, APRIL 16. THE ACTUAL
TIME IS INDICATED ON THE PESACH CALENDAR - Below.

* WAIT ONE HOUR BEFORE EATING CHOMETZ TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE
RABBI TO BUY IT BACK FOR YOU.

* UNTIL THAT TIME NO CHOMETZ SHOULD BE BOUGHT OR EATEN.

*****************************
* A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME *
*****************************

MOSHIACH'S SEUDAH

The Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Chassidism, instituted the
custom of eating a special third meal on the last day of Pesach
late in the afternoon, after Minchah, complete with matzah and
wine.

This meal is known as the "Festive Meal of Moshiach," or
Moshiach 's Seudah, for on this day the radiance of Moshiach is
openly revealed. Also, it is intended to deepen our awareness of
the imminence of the final Redemption.

On this day, he said, one can actually feel the approach of
Moshiach. "Behold," says the verse in Song of Songs, "he is
standing behind our wall, watching through the windows, peering
through the crevices . . ."

*

Beginning in the year 5666/1906, it became customary in
Lubavitch for the students of the Lubavitcher yeshivah to eat their
Pesach meals together in the study hall. That year, the fifth
Chabad-Lubavitch Rebbe, Rabbi Sholom Dov Ber, known as the Rebbe
Rashab, joined the students for the third festive meal of the last
day of Pesach, and directed that each of them be given four cups of
wine.

The Rebbe once commented, that this was obviously intended to
become an annual custom.

*

Moshiach 's Seudah was instituted on the eighth day of Pesach,
as the number eight is connected to the Redemption (being one more
than seven -- symbolic of the natural order) and the Haftorah read
on the eighth day of Pesach contains many of the Messianic
prophecies.

One might ask, what is the point of eating an actual, physical
meal that relates to the subject of Moshiach? This festive meal
causes the image and the feeling of the future Redemption to
penetrate not only all the faculties of a person 's soul, including
his capacity for action, but his physical body as well -- by means
of the physical food that becomes part of his very flesh and blood.
Partaking of this festive meal is intended to draw down the
radiance of Moshiach into every aspect of one 's daily life
throughout the year.

This simply means -- as an anticipatory echo of how the world
will appear after the Redemption -- that holiness should permeate
all of a person 's activities, including his physical activities,
to the point that he is prepared to sacrifice the innermost core of
his soul. This is the yechida within his soul, the element of
Moshiach in his soul.

The Rebbe once explained, "The four cups of wine on the Seder
night are the cups of Moses our teacher; the four cups of wine at
Seudat Moshiach on the last day of Pesach are the cups of our
righteous Moshiach."

* * *

Hundreds of Chabad-Lubavitch Centers around the world will be
hosting the traditional, mystical Moshiach 's Seudah, on the last
day of Pesach.

To find out about a Moshiach 's Seudah near you, call your local
Chabad-Lubavitch Center.

**************************************
* TIME FOR UNITY; TIME FOR STRENGTH! *
**************************************

The most important principle in the Torah is the protection of
Jewish life.

It's more important than Shabbat, more important than holidays,
even fasting on Yom Kippur.

Right now, in Israel, and everywhere, Jews must stand together
in unity and do whatever possible to protect Jewish life.

The Rebbe teaches that there are TEN important MITZVOT we can do
to protect life. See what you can do:

1) AHAVAT YISROEL: Behave with love towards another Jew.

2) LEARN TORAH: Join a Torah class.

3) Make sure that Jewish children get a TORAH TRUE EDUCATION.

4) Affix kosher MEZUZOT on all doorways of the house.

5) For men and boys over 13: Put on TEFILLIN every weekday.

6) Give CHARITY.

7) Buy JEWISH HOLY BOOKS and learn them.

8) LIGHT SHABBAT & YOM TOV candles. A Mitzvah for women and
girls.

9) Eat and drink only KOSHER FOOD.

10) Observe the laws of JEWISH FAMILY PURITY.

In addition the Rebbe urges that:

Every Jewish man, woman and child should have a letter written
for them in a SEFER TORAH.*

Every person should study either the Rambam's Yad Hachazakah --
Code of Jewish Law -- or the Sefer HaMitzvos.

Concerning Moshiach, the Rebbe stated, "The time for our
redemption has arrived!" Everyone should prepare themselves for
Moshiach's coming by doing random acts of goodness and kindness,
and by studying about what the future redemption will be like. May
we merit to see the fulfillment of the Rebbe's prophecy now!
