Setting the Foundation for Geula | Rabbi Uri Deutsch

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Vayimaen’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

The Nesivos Shalom points out a remarkable Gematria. The word Tzion, a synonym for Yerushalayim, the place of the Beis Hamikdash, the place of Klal Yisroel's focus and aspirations, has the same Gematria as the word Yosef. Both have the value of 156. Tzion is the Gematria of Yosef. As we know, Yosef represents the epitome of Kedusha, the epitome of realizing the nobility of the character of a Yid, faced with challenge and faced with an unprecedented opportunity for elevation and self sanctification. Says the Nesivos Shalom, Klal Yisroel approaching Tzion, Klal Yisroel anticipating Geula, Klal Yisroel working towards everything that Tzion represents in the final generations, in the final era of what we call עקבתא דמשיחא, where we already begin to hear the drumbeat of Moshiach arriving. What propels Klal Yisroel forward, what elevates us is that same characteristic of Yosef. It's through Yosef that we’ll merit to see Tzion.
