English translation — בס"ד. שיחת יום ג', וא"ו תשרי ה'תשמ"ה - בבית הכנסת אחרי תפלת מנחה

As it is now after the Minchah prayer,

when there is the special alacrity that "even Elijah was only answered during the Minchah prayer,"

All the more so that this also has the advantage of communal prayer,

and in a place designated for prayer and Torah study,

And it also has the advantage that this is during the days of the Ten Days of Repentance,

when "Seek Hashem when He is found, call upon Him when He is near,"

and on these very days — after the service of Shabbat Shuvah,

in addition to the service and action of Rosh Hashanah —

This is the place to mention:

Since this is a time that is especially and most propitious — it is also particularly propitious for the matter connected with Elijah the Prophet — that he is "remembered for good" because he is the bearer of good tidings,

the herald of the redemption of the coming of Mashiach our righteousness in the true and complete redemption —

May this be speedily in our days and immediately,

and in this very matter — with the greatest alacrity.

And particularly since Jews have shown an example,

and in actual deed and practice — that they responded with alacrity regarding what was discussed yesterday after the Maariv prayer — "Reshus"

[As Chassidus explains,

that this is "Reshus" because it derives from the most supernal place]

— regarding the matter of building mikvaos,

and the kashrus of eating and drinking,

and the kindling of Shabbos and Yom Tov lights,

whose acronym is "Chein,"

which is said regarding "A woman who fears Hashem, she shall be praised,"

then she has true grace

(and not "Grace is false and beauty is vain" as stated earlier in the verse),

a grace that has the greatest effect — "for I have found grace in your eyes."

And particularly since the alacrity in these matters is in the name of all Israel,

and all the more so in the name of all Jewish women and girls,

for together with this that all Jews,

both men and women,

are obligated in these three matters,

it has been given over and entrusted specifically to Jewish women and girls,

it will surely be carried out by them with the greatest alacrity.

And since "He relates His words to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel,"

what He does He tells Israel to do — may the alacrity of Jews in these three matters bring about the greatest alacrity from the Almighty in these three matters:

May the prophecy be fulfilled "And I will sprinkle pure water upon you and you will be purified,"

"Fortunate are you, Israel; before whom do you purify yourselves, and who purifies you? Your Father in Heaven,"

until from the very Essence and Being itself.

And this is connected with "Arise, shine, for your light has come" — the kindling of the lamp of Israel,

through "a mitzvah is a lamp and Torah is light,"

and the kindling of the light of Israel,

as known from the teaching of the Baal Shem Tov on the verse "Arise, shine, for your light has come,"

transmitted through the Rebbe

(the Rebbe Rashab)

may his soul rest in Eden, and afterward through His Holiness, my teacher and father-in-law, the Rebbe, the Nasi of our generation.

And this is also connected with that every Jew should have a holy body revealed,

and it was already revealed in the past at the Giving of the Torah

(when Jews became a "holy nation"),

and afterward it is now through our deeds and service — through the kashrus of eating and drinking.

And the perfection of this will be in the future to come,

when the Holy One, blessed be He, will purify,

as explained in Chassidus the elucidation of these matters. Which in general is the matter of "And saviors shall ascend Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the kingdom shall be Hashem's,"

also in "the mountain of Esau,"

and from there it spreads to all that pertains to it,

until also to Ishmael, etc.,

and it becomes "that I will turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Hashem, to serve Him with one accord,"

And all the more so that it will be so with the greatest alacrity among Jews,

among all Jews,

the men, women, and children,

"with our young and our old, etc., with our sons and our daughters" — the perfection of the people,

Together with the perfection of the Torah and mitzvos,

beginning with the three primary matters mentioned above upon which the world stands,

Together with the perfection of the land,

the Land of Israel,

"which etc., the eyes of Hashem your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year" — true perfection,

which is connected with "for Hashem your God will enlarge your border,"

also the Kenite, Kenizzite, and Kadmonite,

And simply — that the land of the seven nations is in perfection as an eternal inheritance for the eternal people through the eternal Torah.

And all these matters should be with joy and a good heart,

and in a manner of "and you shall spread forth to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south - an inheritance without borders"

(which refers to our father Jacob),

connected with the Third Holy Temple which has a connection with our father Jacob,

and speedily in our days, literally.
