You Are Good: At your core, you embody pure goodness, aligned with the infinite love of the universe.

What’s Really Going On in the World Right Now

A Torah perspective on this historic moment and how to live these closing days of the Galus-to-Geulah transition with real clarity and joy.

(Part 2 of 2)

In Part 1, we spoke about where we are.

Now we turn to the deeper question.

The single most important question we can be asking ourselves right now is this:

*What will my future self wish I had done in these final moments of the Galus-to-Geulah transition?*

If the world is shaking for a reason, and if we truly are living in the most important times in all of history, then our role right now is not to panic, argue, or obsess over headlines.

It is to live correctly.

From Understanding to Alignment

Once we truly understand that Hashem alone guides history, something very important happens.

We stop trying to control what is not ours to control.

And we start focusing on what is.

The Torah never asked us to fix the world through power, force, or politics.

It asked us to bring light into it.

Especially now.

These closing moments of Galus are not empty time.

They are precious time.

They are filled with opportunities that will no longer exist once Geulah is fully revealed.

Why These Moments Matter So Much

Our sages teach that there are mitzvot that can only be done in Galus.

Acts of faith when clarity is incomplete.

Acts of kindness when the world feels harsh.

Acts of trust when fear would be easier.

This is why these days matter so much.

Every choice now carries extra weight.

Every act of goodness shines brighter.

Every moment of patience, restraint, generosity, or faith leaves a lasting imprint.

This is not pressure.

It is privilege.

What It Looks Like to Live These Days Geuladig

Living these times with the energy of Geulah does not mean doing more than you can handle.

It means doing what is already in front of you, with clarity, intention, and calm…

It looks like:

• Turning down fear-based noise and turning up Torah

• Speaking with more patience, even when emotions run high

• Choosing kindness when the world feels rough

• Strengthening unity instead of feeding division

• Doing mitzvot with awareness that they matter now more than ever

This is how we partner with the unfolding Geulah.

Not by force.

Not by panic.

By alignment.

Where True Calm Comes From

Real calm does not come from knowing what will happen next.

It comes from knowing Who is guiding it.

Bitachon is not pretending things are easy.

It is knowing you are held.

When you trust that Hashem is guiding every step of history, your nervous system can rest.

Your heart can soften.

Your decisions become clearer.

You stop absorbing fear.

You start transmitting stability.

And that itself brings light into the world.

A Quiet but Powerful Shift

This is what it means to live these days Geuladig.

To be steady while others are reactive.

To be kind while others are harsh.

To be anchored while others are pulled by every wave.

This is how Geulah enters the world.

Not all at once.

But through people who choose clarity over chaos.

A Simple Way to Begin Today

You do not need to overhaul your life.

Start small and real:

• Do one mitzvah today with full presence

• Offer one genuine act of kindness

• Pause once today and remind yourself: “Hashem is guiding this”

That is enough to make a difference.

Because when enough people live this way, the world changes.

The Closing Thought

These are not dark times.

They are the most meaningful times!

Times when what you do matters more than you realize.

Times our future selves will look back on with deep gratitude for every effort to turn to Hashem and bring light into the world, even while it was still dark.

We are not waiting for Geulah from the sidelines.

We are helping bring it closer.

With quiet faith.

With steady hearts.

With joy that comes from knowing we are exactly where we are meant to be.

If this message resonated with you, share it with someone who needs Torah clarity and steadiness right now.

And remember:

You are not lost.

You are living in a moment that matters.

Victory is forged in the shadows before it ever shines in the spotlight. Spiritual progress isn’t always loud – it’s often hidden in the quiet courage to keep trying even when change seems invisible. Every step counts, even the ones no one sees – consistency shapes the your inner world long before it transforms your outer world.

All the small efforts, the simple act of showing up again and again, plant seeds for tomorrow’s growth. What feels repetitive or insignificant in the moment is slowly building resilience, patience, and depth. Every attempt adds up, layering strength beneath the surface in ways that cannot yet be measured.

There are seasons when progress feels invisible, when effort seems to disappear into silence. But growth doesn’t always announce itself while it’s happening; quite often it reveals itself only in hindsight. One day you’ll look back and realize those “small tries” were never small at all – they quietly built the foundation for lasting, meaningful change.

Based on the teachings of the Baal HaTanya, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745–1812)

What’s Really Going On in the World Right Now

A Torah perspective on this historic moment and how to live these closing days of the Galus-to-Geulah transition with real clarity and joy.

(Part 1 of 2)

You are not lost.

If the world feels increasingly unfamiliar, if world events bring sudden shifts of emotion, and if your own challenges feel heavier in the middle of it all, pause. You are not lost, and what’s happening is not random chaos.

The shaking and upheaval we are witnessing around the world is a carefully guided process unfolding exactly as it needs to.

This is Part 1 of a two-part message.

*In Part 1,* we will look at what is really happening in the world through a Torah lens.

*In Part 2,* we will explore what these times ask of us personally and how to live them well.

The uneasiness many of us feel in response to what we’re seeing unfold in the world is not a weakness or a failure to cope. It is a sign that your soul is no longer comfortable with exile, and that is a healthy and meaningful response.

The sense of disbelief and unsettledness many people are feeling as they watch what is unfolding in the world is completely understandable. We are witnessing things like:

• Rising antisemitism that feels more blatant and less restrained

• Growing moral confusion and the blurring of basic right and wrong

• Increasing instability in governments, institutions, and social norms

• A feeling that the world is hurting and in trouble

The calm and clarity we are able to hold in the midst of all this does not come from denial. It comes from seeing these developments for what they truly are, through a Torah-informed lens that brings meaning, context, and a clear sense of direction to what we are witnessing.

Our Torah has spoken about times like this for generations.

It describes the final stage of the transition from Galus to Geulah, a time marked by confusion, brazen unholy pride, rising hostility toward the Jewish people, and deep struggle, ultimately giving way to a world of truth, universal harmony, and revealed goodness.

Our sages explained that before the higher and more truthful world of Moshiach can be revealed, the old structures of the world must be shaken and give way. This process of purification and preparation is what our sages called the birth pangs of Moshiach.

Some changes feel freeing. Others feel disruptive. Both are part of the same process.

This is why those who place their sense of security and hope in political leaders, systems, or headlines ultimately leads to increases anxiety. They respond and react, but they do not decide outcomes.

Hashem alone guides history.

Hashem alone determines where this story is going.

Our security was never meant to come from human power. It comes from recognizing the One who is guiding everything.

When we see the world with this Torah-based clarity, something inside us settles. The heart softens. Deep clarity and inner calm set in. We stop absorbing the fear and chaos around us and begin to prepare ourselves and those around us for the unfolding Geulah, with confidence, strength, and quiet joy.

What matters most right now is not getting too caught up by the political particulars developing around the world, or what exactly will happen next, but understanding where we are and what our focus has to be.

This is not a time meant to frighten us.

It is a time meant to awaken us.

To steady us.

And to turn us back to Hashem, so we can bring more Divine light into the world through the special mitzvot that can only be done in Galus, in these last precious moments.

——

In the next post, Part 2, we will turn inward. We will explore what this moment asks of us personally and how to live these days with calm, trust, and even joy.

Growth is not linear. There will be days of clarity and days of confusion, moments of progress followed by pauses that feel like regression – when energy is low, motivation fades, and self-doubt becomes louder. These days are not evidence of weakness, and none of this means you are failing.

Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Learning requires repetition, missteps, and time. Wisdom is not rushed – it develops through reflection, through lived experience, and perhaps most importantly, through patience.

Setbacks can feel disorienting and disheartening. They challenge the narrative you told yourself about how things were supposed to unfold. It’s easy to interpret them as failure. When momentum slows or breaks, it can shake your confidence and leave you questioning your judgment, your ability, or even your worth.

But these moments of interruption are often moments of recalibration. They invite you to reassess, to deepen your understanding, and to approach the next step with greater clarity. What matters most is not how consistently inspired you feel, but how gently you respond to yourself when inspiration wanes. The pauses, the uncertainty, and the moments of doubt are not disruptions to growth; they are part of its texture. When you stay present through them – without harsh judgment or panic – you allow learning to settle more deeply and honestly than constant momentum ever could.

In time, you begin to see that progress is often happening beneath the surface, quietly shaping you in ways that only become visible later. Trust the pace that is unfolding. Honor the effort it takes simply to remain engaged. Even when the path feels uneven, each step is still carrying you forward.
