Hayom Yom 16 Elul - The soul from the primordial till eternity

Description

רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן פִּרֵשׁ מַאֲמָר כָּל הַמְקַיֵּם נֶפֶשׁ אַחַת מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל כְּאִלּוּ קִיֵּם עוֹלָם מָלֵא

The Sages teach: “Whoever sustains one Jewish soul is considered as if he had sustained an entire world.” On this teaching, the Alter Rebbe offered the following interpretation:

אוֹיף אַ אִידעֶן דאַרף מעֶן קוּקעֶן וִוי עֶר שְׁטֵייט אִין מַחֲשָׁבָה הַקְּדוּמָה דְּאָדָם קַדְמוֹן

When we see a fellow Jew, we should behold him in the [pristine spiritual] state in which he is conceived in the Primeval Thought of Adam Kadmon

אוּן דאָרטעֶן שְׁטֵייט יעֶדעֶר נְשָׁמָה

On that level, the soul exists

מִיט אַלעֶ דּוֹרוֹת וואָס קוּמעֶן אַרוֹיס פוּן אִיהר בִּיז בִּיאַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ גּוֹאֵל צֶדֶק

together with all the generations that will emerge from it until the coming of Mashiach, our righteous redeemer.

אוּן אַז מעֶן טוּט אַ אִידעֶן אַ טוֹבָה

Thus, when we do a Jew a favor,

טוּט מעֶן אַ טוֹבָה, אָט דִי אַלעֶ נְשָׁמוֹת עַד סוֹף כָּל הַדּוֹרוֹת

we do a favor for all those souls until the end of all the generations.
