4050 —תפקיד השמש בהפצת אור רוחני

The Role of the Shamesh in Spreading Spiritual Light

כ"ד טבת, תשט"ז
The Rebbe cites the tzt"z's teaching that calling to the sun or the shamesh brings forth light. The Frierdiker Rebbe explains that a shamesh must illuminate the entire shul with spiritual light, and through persistent effort, this goal is ultimately achieved.

[כ"ד טבת, תשט"ז]

...עס איז באוואוסט דער ווארט פון כ"ק אדמו"ר הצמח צדק: קרא לשמש ויזרח אור - קרא לשַמש ויזרח אור. וביאר כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר: א שמש דארף מאכן ליכטיג - געמיינט רוחניות'דיקע ליכט - די גאנצע שול. און אז מען טוט איז סוף סוף טוט מען אויף...

It is well known, the saying of the tzt"z: 'Kra laShemesh veyizrach or—Kra laShamesh veyizrach or' (Call to the sun and it will shine light—call to the shamesh and light will emanate).

The Frierdiker Rebbe explained: A shamesh must make it bright—meaning spiritual light—throughout the entire shul. And when one acts, in the end, one accomplishes.


Summary

A true shamesh brings spiritual illumination to all around him. With dedication and consistent effort, even challenging goals can be achieved.
