Rav Shalom Arush in an Emotional Call Before the Days of Rosh Hashanah

The great Kibbutz in Uman for Rosh Hashanah 5781 grows from day to day. Preparations are already in full swing, and many are rushing to secure their place around the holy gravesite of Rebbe Nachman during the holy days of Rosh Hashanah.

Rabbi Shalom Arush shlit"a, head of the Chut Shel Chessed institutions and one who brings merit to the masses, issues an emotional call to the entire nation of Israel who are hesitating before the holy journey. Rabbi Arush uses words that, according to him, he has never used before.

These are his holy words; it is a must to read.

"I tell you with certainty that Hashem will help us; we will meet after Rosh Hashanah. Remember what I tell you: This Rosh Hashanah is the last one that will be without Mashiach."

"It is very possible that Mashiach will be revealed even this Rosh Hashanah. Whoever knows me knows that for over 40 years I have been giving classes; how many years have you heard me speaking about Mashiach? 10 years! Have you ever heard me speak about Mashiach?"

"I did not speak, but now these are things that one can see; one cannot explain it, but please, do not miss it. Because this year you will receive gifts... there is nothing like it, whoever arrives in Uman this year... that is why there are obstacles to it. As an analogy, let's say that if in previous years whoever arrived in Uman received a million dollars, whoever arrives this year will receive several billion dollars."

"And I know that for every word I say, they will ask me about it in Heaven; I cannot just say words without meaning. This year, you will receive immense gifts - do not miss them, make the effort, do not be afraid. Our Sages told us that those on the way to perform a mitzvah are not harmed, neither on their way there, nor during the mitzvah, nor on their way back. And that is only for a small mitzvah, and this is the greatest mitzvah, to be at our Rebbe's for Rosh Hashanah, so certainly no one will be harmed, no one will fall ill, no one will be hurt."

"In the Yeshiva, we are spending hours in hitbodedut (secluded prayer) for this, that no one should be harmed, that no one should be hurt, that no one should be killed, that no one should die; there will be such great joy and such peace - it will be a Rosh Hashanah with all the beauty of our Rebbe's Rosh Hashanah, all the splendor, all the majesty."

"I truly beg you - hurry and come, everyone come, and we will meet on Rosh Hashanah in Uman."
