Every Letter in the Torah Creates Angels

"Then Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom..." (Chukat 20:14)

"And know that through the spiritual forces created from the letters of the Torah that one innovates, these forces are actual angels... and they punish the wicked, in the aspect of 'For He will command His angels for you... upon the lion and the viper you shall tread...'" (Likutey Moharan, Torah 20).

The Rebbe says that through every letter in the Torah, you create angels! And these are actual angels! This is not 'like' angels, nor an 'aspect' of angels, nor 'as if' they were angels, but actual angels. The Rebbe says – know this! From every letter that you bring out of your mouth, angels are created, actual angels! And they go and fight and protect the people of Israel.

When you speak words of Torah, you create angels, and these angels go and fight for you. Here there is some trouble, here there is some problem, there is some distress for the people of Israel, they go and fight! From every letter an angel is created; from every letter a person brings out of his mouth, an angel is created; from every letter a person brings out of his mouth in holiness and purity, an angel is created! From every utterance, from every word of Torah, angels are created! A vast army of angels! "Hashem gives the word; the heralds are a vast army" – legions of angels are created! Tens of thousands of angels, millions of angels!

And these are the angels that accompany us every moment! These are the angels that walk with us and protect us! As it is written, "For He will command His angels for you to guard you in all your ways," and one must believe this with complete faith!! One must believe that from every letter one says, an angel is created – and this is called Emunat Chachamim (faith in the Sages)!!!

For what is the acronym G-M-R-A (Gemara)? Gavriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, that is Gemara! To my right is Michael, to my left is Gavriel, before me is Uriel... You speak letters, you create angels! If you said another word, there is the camp of Gavriel! Another word, there is the camp of Michael! Another! There is the camp of Raphael, Uriel... You said another word, you added more angels to the camp of Michael, to the camp of Gavriel, Raphael, Uriel; with every word, you create angels.

When one does not believe in the tzaddik, holiness diminishes and the power of the angels weakens

"Then Moses sent messengers to the king of Edom"... and Edom said to him, "You shall not pass through me, lest I come out against you with the sword." All this is due to the diminution of holiness, as mentioned above (Likutey Moharan, Torah 20). The Rebbe says in Torah 20 that the angels that Moses sent after the sin of the Waters of Meribah were weak angels, sick angels. Lame, crippled, blind, the angels that Moses sent were created after the people of Israel sinned at the Waters of Meribah and did not believe in Moses; even though these angels were formed from the pure utterances of Israel, their holiness was diminished.

For when one does not believe in Moses, one does not believe in the tzaddik, then the holiness diminishes and it is impossible to create strong, heroic angels from the letters. And it is not like the angels that our forefather Jacob sent to Esau. "And Jacob sent angels before him" – when Jacob sent angels to Esau, all four hundred of Esau's heroes fled! The angels reached Esau and began to strike him as they should! He said to them, "Stop!" They said to him, "Who are you that we should leave you? In whose merit should we leave you?" He said to them, "I am the son of Isaac!" It did not help him, and they continued to strike him! He said to them, "I am the grandson of Abraham!" It also did not help! He said to them, "I am the brother of Jacob!" They said to him, "If you are the brother of Jacob! If you are the brother of the tzaddik! Then you are one of us!" They said to him, "Why didn't you say at the beginning that you are the brother of Jacob? You would have saved yourself all these blows! If you are the brother of Jacob! You are a good friend of ours! You even deserve kisses!"

Our forefather Jacob succeeded in creating strong angels, heroic angels that performed actions in the world. A person needs to create such strong angels that will go and perform actions in the world, such angels that will go and roam the world and perform everything that is necessary.

When one sends an angel, it will certainly hit the target

Every word in the Torah is an atom! Every word in prayer, in Psalms, is a missile! It is even more than an atom! If a person brings out a letter from his mouth in holiness and purity, then it is even more than an atom! Because every letter in the Torah is an angel! When you said a letter! You brought an angel out of your mouth! And an angel is stronger than an atom!

Because when one sends an atom, who knows if it will hit the target or not, but when one sends an angel, it will certainly hit the target! From every letter, angels are created, and these angels fight for us; they will fight for us against the wicked! They will fight for us against the terrorists! "Mashiach will conquer the entire world without firing a single bullet" (Siach Sarfei Kodesh 2-2-67). Mashiach will conquer the entire world without war, everything through prayer! Everything through Torah!

Now is the work!! We don't need rifles! We don't need pistols! We don't need anything! When there is Torah and there is prayer, we don't need anything! Now we only need to create angels! We need to study and pray in holiness and purity! We need to guard our eyes! The more a person guards his eyes, then from every letter he studies and prays, he will create a stronger angel! And this angel will go and fight against the nations, against the terrorists, against the heretics, against the wicked. And according to the holiness of the person, so are the angels created! Everything is according to holiness! Therefore, the entire task now is not to stop studying Torah! Not to stop saying letters! Not to stop creating angels.
