Although it is still Exile (and especially since it is the last days of Exile), G-d declares to the Jewish people ‘arise, give light, because your light has dawned’ meaning both the radiance of the soul - ‘your light’ - and even higher, the spiritual radiance of the body - ‘give light’. 13 The Rebbe points out that the simple reading of the verse ‘Arise, give light’ would suggest that it is a statement about the time of Redemption, when G-d says to the Jewish people ‘arise, give light, because your light has dawned’, meaning the time of Redemption has come. Then G-d responds to them with the verse from Isaiah: ‘Arise, and give light, because your light has dawned.’ From the fact that the Midrash links these two verses together, it can be understood that they are parallel to each other, as we will see. This can be understood by considering a passage in the Midrash3: The Jewish people say to G-d: we made You a Menorah in the time of Moses, in the Sanctuary, and it was extinguished4; in the days of Solomon, and it was extinguished5. 2 In that verse, ‘Arise, give light, for your light has dawned’ can be understood as speaking of two levels: ‘your light has dawned’, the lower level which, once it has been expressed, leads to the higher level, ‘give light’. When this is revealed, and, [through Torah11], it has its effect on the body of the person, then the higher level is disclosed, the exalted radiance of the body which expresses an even higher level of bond with the Divine. [At that higher level, the focus is not on the ‘worlds’ below, but on the interrelationship between G-d, the Torah and the Jewish people.] As mentioned, the term ‘Your light’ is explained as being the Torah. Through our activities and service of G-d in this vein we will hasten the Redemption and then the verse will be understood as referring to the time of Redemption, when ‘your light has dawned’ l
