Parashat Vaetchanan - The Secret of the Journey to Uman on Rosh Hashanah

"My Rosh Hashanah surpasses everything. And it was a wonder to me, since my followers believe in me, why shouldn't all the people close to me be careful that they all be here for Rosh Hashanah, no one should be missing."

Why don't they make a proclamation, propaganda, and noise in the world that everyone should travel to Uman for Rosh Hashanah? No one should be missing! And we must fight for this with self-sacrifice!

The Power of the Holy Tziyon to Elevate from the Depths of Sin

When one travels to the holy and awesome Tziyon, where the spirit of Mashiach ben David is hidden and concealed, which is drawn from the Nukva dePardashka (the breath of the Divine), and which blows upon all those who travel to our holy and awesome Rebbe; when one travels with true teshuvah (repentance), and with true regret, from the depth of the heart, for all that has passed over them throughout the entire year, and all the years, from the day they reached the age of understanding until now, from the sin of Adam HaRishon and all the reincarnations until now.

And when one truly returns in teshuvah (repentance) and regrets with true remorse from the depth of the heart, in the aspect of:

"Out of the depths I have called to You, Hashem"

From the deepest depths, from such depths into which the Jewish people have never yet fallen, then even if that person's iniquities have grown over his head, become more numerous than the sand of the seas, and deepened like the depths of the ocean, our holy and awesome Rebbe has the power to pull him out by the holy peyot that have not yet departed from him, and to elevate him to the highest of heights.

When, on this awesome journey, we truly and sincerely resolve not to return to our evil ways anymore, and we take upon ourselves true guarding of the eyes, and to complete the entire Shas, and all the books of our holy and awesome Rebbe, and all the holy and awesome books of Moharnat, and the rest of the holy books, then we prepare vessels for our holy and awesome Rebbe, so that he will be able to emanate upon us the lights of the Ein Sof (Infinite), the Orot HaTzachtzachot (purest lights), which he merited, as he promised "exactly like me," for this is his aim and the purpose of his coming into the world, to emanate upon us from the lights of the Ein Sof.

A Treasure of Fear of Heaven

When one travels to the Rebbe, one receives fear of Heaven! The Rebbe said:

"I am a treasure of fear of Heaven"

From every step taken to travel to the Rebbe, an angel is created! From every step taken for the sake of the tzaddik, one receives awe! From every movement for the sake of the Rebbe, angels are created! Just from the journey alone, one already merits to receive a great light! Because the Rebbe is fire! When traveling to the Rebbe, one travels on paths of fire; the Rebbe is a pillar of fire, our holy Rebbe is a blazing fire for Hashem, may He be blessed.

Everyone wants to travel to the Rebbe; people travel to the Rebbe with self-sacrifice! They leave everything! Everyone in this generation knows that our holy Rebbe is a true tzaddik! Because our holy Rebbe had no looking here in this world; he never heard the world, nothing here in this world interested him, he never saw the world.

To Bring About All Salvations on Rosh Hashanah

The Rebbe said: "I don't see?! What do you think, that I am blind? In truth, I have eyes! I have eyes to see from one end of the world to the other!" We are traveling to such a tzaddik who sees from one end of the world to the other, traveling to such a tzaddik who can heal all the illnesses in the world; there is no illness that he cannot heal. On Rosh Hashanah, we draw down parnassah (livelihood), we draw down the souls of children, all the salvations for all of life.

On Rosh Hashanah, everything is brought about. If a person believes in the Rebbe, believes in Rosh Hashanah, then there is no salvation that cannot be brought about for him, for his friends, for his wife, and for all generations. There is nothing a person cannot bring about on Rosh Hashanah; if he will only stand at the Tziyon and pray truly and seriously, and not wander around or go strolling, then everything can be brought about. There is no closed gate; one can merit all salvations for himself and for all of the people of Israel.

The Rebbe says:

"My Rosh Hashanah is a great novelty. Hashem, may He be blessed, knows that this matter is not an inheritance from my ancestors; He simply gave it to me as a gift, that I know what Rosh Hashanah is! Not only are you dependent on my Rosh Hashanah, but even the entire world is dependent on my Rosh Hashanah"

The Rebbe called out with a loud voice from the depth of his heart: What can I tell you? There is nothing greater than this. And whoever comes to me for Rosh Hashanah can receive tikkunim (rectifications) that he cannot receive in any way during the entire year. You have nothing to worry about, eat delicacies and drink sweet beverages, for the joy of Hashem is your strength. I have rectified everything for you on Rosh Hashanah, I have rectified everything for you!
