We Will Rise and Grow From the Shattering!
„From every descent that we have suffered, there afterward grew an ascent and a greater development, and a leap forward for the good emerged from every crisis. And from this we must learn and take a good lesson: not to be fallen in our spirit.”From Ma'amrei HaRe'iyah, 380
We are in a state of shattering. Everyone's head is bowed to the ground and the worry is immense. Even good news conceals within it immense worry for the near and distant future. Rav Kook wrote, after the massacre of 1929 (5689) against the people of Israel, that alongside the deep shattering (which the Rav wept over endlessly and mourned for years) we must know that the ascent and the good are near. And the more we understand this, and the more we succeed in giving this insight to the world, the more we advance the possibility that it will truly come to pass!
