In it we ask, “May his/her soul be bound up in the bond of life with the souls of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov, Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel and Leah, and with the other righteous men and women who are in Gan Eden.” How are we so certain that’s where this soul wants to be? 2 Wishing our readers a G’mar Chasima Tova and a Gut’n Shabbos, Rabbi Mordechai Lipskier 1 Reshimas, Devarim 2 Based on the Rebbe's talks on Shabbos Shuva, Parshas Ha'azinu 5741 (1980) and 5750 (1989) Dear Reader, Enjoyed this dvar Torah? For another 14 years the authorities would not release his body until one day a wealthy Yid, Alexander Wimpfen, sold almost everything he owned and paid for the Maharam’s body to be released, and finally brought him to kevuras Yisroel. However, had he lived after the times of the Baal Shem Tov—who introduced the idea that the ultimate purpose is to serve Hashem here, in this physical world—he would have chosen material wealth, and utilized it to serve Hashem. And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.” Chazal note that the word “listen” is used when talking to someone in close proximity, while the word “hear” can be used when talking to someone farther away. Perhaps it would prefer to hang out elsewhere, in the company of people who weren’t so righteous, especially if the person never showed significant interest in righteousness while alive?

Chazal explain that in fact, even while on this earth, Moshe was always closer to Heaven; his reality was dictated by Heaven, never by the material world. However, through studying the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov, we no longer have to go to the sky to find Heaven; we can find Heaven right here on earth.
