Parsha Shoftim Chasidic Torah thought from Lubavitcher Rebbe by: Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to this week's Torah lesson. This week's Torah portion is the question of the week is how can we bring about the redemption. So this week's Torah portion says on all your gates you should put judges and officers. Now there's the physical gates to a city but then there's a spiritual gates. So the brings from the sh that says that what are the gates? all the limbs of the body, your your ears, your eyes, your nostril, your mouth, your hands, and your feet. There's another opinion he brings in the Torah from Sephi that says it's actually the two ears, the two eyes, two nostrils in the mouth, the seven gates that we have in our head. But the Reb says that these these gates, even though it's specifically seven, but in general, it's actually four. One of the four, seeing, hearing, smelling, and speech. And these four correspond actually to the four letters in God's name. What's our job? To make sure like it says to make sure that we hear the right things, we see the right things, we smell the right things, we say the right things. And when we do our part of to make sure we're living a life that in the gates which is connected to everyone in the letters of Hashem, then who judges the whole world? Hashem, Hashem will judge the world and give us all the most powerful blessings. So the answer to the question, how can we bring about the redemption? By judging and protecting ourselves, Hashem will who's the ultimate judge will grant us the redemption. Thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson.
