‘Pru U'rvu’ (b)

The Gemara also says, that “Moshiach will arrive only after all the neshomos
will be emptied from the guf (body). “ Tosfos translates this to mean that the Jewish
souls have a ‘body’ – a distinct ‘storage room’ where they are found. We must draw
down from there children, neshomos, sons and daughters. They will establish ‘G-
d’s Army’ and with them we will go out of this exile. The geulah is dependent upon
this.
From this, it is understood – that it is not as the perception of the misguided
who want to debate about birth control, etc., etc. They explain Torah not congruent
with the Halacha – law. [Giving birth to children] is not only a private matter of
fulfilling a mitzvah, the very first mitzvah in Torah – “Be fruitful and multiply and
fill the earth and conquer it.” It is also a general matter. On this is dependent the
redemption of all Jews that there should be the “souls emptied from the [‘storage
room’ referred to as] guf,” through having children, sons and daughters, down here,
a soul in a body. Moshiach then comes and he will redeem us from the bitter exile.
This is the special mission that is mainly dependent upon the women and
daughters in any place where they are. All the more so, [it is dependent upon] those
who already know the Torah and the directives and the guidelines of the [Previous
Rebbe] whose yahrtzeit is today. [In addition, this applies] to those who will hear
about this today, tomorrow – now, the next day – tomorrow, or even “tomorrow – at
some future time”
Through bearing sons and daughters, the children they already have, will be
born anew – [as is written] “Whoever teaches the son of his friend Torah”, even
more so, if he teaches his own son Torah, “it is as if he gave birth to him”, he makes
them a new being.
Through conducting themselves [in such a manner], that their home among
Israel will be one upon which Hashem says, “I will rest among them”, there Hashem
rests, and there, they raise “Tzivos Hashem” – Hashem’s army, in a way of tznius -
modesty. They raise them in a manner of “And the nation multiplied and increased
tremendously”,
Then – Hashem gives them strength, that they should have the strength, and
all the matters necessary to raise them – with abundance, and in good health, and
with happiness and gladness of heart, raising them as well to Torah, to chupa –
marriage, and to maasim tovim – good deeds.
