Miamonides wrote the laws of Mashiach at the end of his work. At the end is when we prepare for the next beginning. Every step from the beginning of time is to lead to the coming of Moshiach. This is the primordial vision of G-d in creation.

We don't accept donations on Shabbos. In order to elevate something, it must be Kosher every step of the way.

Our toil creates the reality of redemption.

Moshiach means the permanent revelation of G-d Himself.

The paradox of descent for the purpose of ascent, essentially is only an illusion. There is no descent, it is really all different pathways heading upwards.

The G-dly soul and animal soul become intertwined when fulfilling a Mitzvah. This is an essential point of the soul's journey in this world.

With every commandment, the object transforms into a vehicle of G-d, making it's very existence and life force exalted.

THrough my service, G-d is inside of me. I become G-d's Home. I was chosen by G-d. I am incredibly worthy.

Fulfilling a commandment is an absolute and exclusive expression of His Infinite Will.

When your body is immersed in G-d's soul, your animal soul is the vehicle of connection. With time, your animal soul becomes transformed and more refined. The G-dly soul can shine with more intensity. This brings more G-dly light into the world.

Learning Torah is an ultimate experience for my soul. Fulfilling the commandments include the body in this experience.

Every part of us is surrounded by G-d's energy as long as we are doing His will.

Every time we do a G-dly commandment, our body becomes a magnet for G-dliness.

Through the active fulfillment of G-d's commandments, fuses your body and the physical realm with the Divine.

When one studies, in solitude, G-d comes to be with that person. you and G-d, learning together.

G-d is searching for a home. When we contemplate G-dliness, and even for the time we study Jewish law. Charity gives G-d a home all day, because the work of the entire day is necessary to create the percentage given to charity. Give, and give G-d a home!

This world is superior. Not despite the darkness, but because of it.

G-d's joy is from our lowly coarse physical world. We have a reality which seems so far from G-d. When a Jew does a commandment the rue source of the finite reality is exposed. G-d is here.

The countless angels, the myriads of galaxies, nothing measures up to the Unity of a Jew with G-d, chosen from the Infinite, by the Infinite.

The more deeply we believe in His absolute Oneness, the more we are in a joyous state.

If I feel undeserving, that may be true. But that is my merit. Despite my insignificance, I can be one with G-d. When I contemplate G-dliness, I am hosting G-d. My brain becomes the palace.

Every piece of Torah you learn creates such joy in G-d. Live in that joy.

Someone who is willfully sinning, knowledgeable, and has been lovingly rebuked, yet outrightedly continues to sin, knowingly. Tanya says, he still deserves unconditional love, because he still has a soul, regardless of how entrenched he is in evil. Every Jew is a walking piece of G-d's essence. Including even yourself!!!

Essence love is the love of self. In Tanya we are instructed to have limitless, illogical love for every single Jew, beyond the external veneer, which is what distinguishes us one from another. But on a soul level, we all emerged from G-d's essence. Torah is all about prioritizing soul over body, and that is exactly what I must do to achieve this love.

G-d wants me to love every single Jew, equally, as myself. Just as flaws do not keep me from loving myself, I should love and accept others. If I focus on soul, I can see and feel love for another.
