6902 —הדלקת נשמת יהודי אחר לפי בהעלותך

Lighting the Soul of Another Jew According to Behaaloscha

ב"ה, כ"ג סיון, תשי"ט ברוקלין.
The Rebbe writes that just as Aharon was instructed to kindle the lamps until the flame rose on its own, so too must each Jew ignite the soul of another Jew repeatedly until their inner light shines independently. This is every Jew's unique role as part of a holy nation.

ב"ה, כ"ג סיון, תשי"ט

ברוקלין.

שלום וברכה!

נתקבל מכתבו מעש"ק בהעלותך.

ויהי רצון אשר מתאים לתאריך מכתבו בפרשת השבוע בה נאמר, דבר אל אהרן גו' בהעלותך את הנרות, ופירשו רז"ל עד שתהא שלהבת עולה מאלי'.

הנה ימלא גם הוא תפקידו (שכאו"א מבנ"י הוא חלק מממלכת כהנים וגוי קדוש) באופנו, להדליק נר ה' נשמת אדם בבנ"י שבא עמהם במגע, פעם אחר פעם, עד שתהא שלהבת עולה מאלי'.

נדפסה בלקו"ש חי"ח ע' 455. נוסח דומה נכתב לכמה.

פרשת השבוע: ראה גם לעיל אגרת ו'תתצב.

B"H, 23 Sivan, 5719. Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

Your letter was received on Erev Shabbat Kodesh Behaaloscha. May it be G‑d's will that, in accordance with the date of your letter during the week of the Torah portion in which it is said, "Daber el Aharon... Behaaloscha et haNerot" ("Speak to Aharon... when you kindle the lamps"), and as our sages explain: until the flame rises on its own—so too should you fulfill your role (as every single one of Bnei Yisrael is part of a kingdom of priests and a holy nation) in your own way: to kindle the lamp of G‑d, which is the soul of man, in every Jew with whom you come into contact, time after time, until the flame rises on its own.

Printed in Likkutei Sichos vol. 18 p. 455. A similar text was written to several others. Parshat HaShavua: see also above letter 6,779.


Summary

Each Jew has a unique mission to inspire and uplift others persistently, helping their inner spark shine independently—mirroring Aharon's task with the Menorah as described in Behaaloscha.
