9225 —השתתפות בקרן חנה בימי קירוב המאור

Participating in the Keren Chana Fund during the Days of Divine Closeness

The Rebbe writes that one can always participate in the Keren Chana fund, especially before Hoshana Rabbah, and it is considered as if they participated in the main campaign. This is especially meaningful during the special days when G-d is close, as discussed at the recent farbrengen.

שלום וברכה!

[עשי"ת תשכ"ז]

והרי בכיו"ב אפשר תמיד להשתתף, ואלו שיעמדו קודם ה"חותם" דהושענא רבא - הרי בידם גם המעלה דכאילו השתתפו בזה בהמגבית דמוצאי יום היאציי"ט. ודבר בעתו מה טוב, ובפרט כשה"עת" - הימים ד"בהמצאו" ו"בהיותו קרוב" - קירוב המאור, כמשנ"ת בההתועדות.

נדפסה בלקו"ש חכ"ד ע' 554.

והרי בכיו"ב: השתתפות במגבית "קרן חנה" שנערכה בהתוועדות ו' תשרי.

ד"בהמצאו" ו"בהיותו קרוב": ישעי' נה, ו. וראה ר"ה יח, א. וש"נ.

קירוב המאור: ראה דרך חיים יג, רע"ד. כא, סע"ב. צא, א. קונטרס העבודה ספ"ה.

כמשנ"ת בההתועדות: בשיחה הראשונה של התוועדות ו' תשרי שנה זו (תשכ"ז).

Shalom u'Vrachah! [Ten Days of Repentance 5727] In such matters, it is always possible to participate, and those who join before the "seal" of Hoshana Rabbah also merit the advantage as if they participated in the campaign held on Motzaei Yom HaYatzeit. Timely action is always good, especially when the "time" refers to these days of "when He is found" and "when He is near"—the drawing close of the luminary, as was explained at the farbrengen. Printed in Likkutei Sichos vol. 24 p. 554.

And similarly: participation in the Keren Chana fund drive that was held at the farbrengen of 6 Tishrei. "When He is found" and "when He is near": see Yeshayahu 55:6. Also see Rosh Hashanah 18a and other sources. Drawing close of the luminary: see Derech Chaim ch. 13, p. 274; ch. 21, p. 91; Kuntres HaAvodah end of ch. 5. As explained at the farbrengen: in the first sichah of the farbrengen of 6 Tishrei this year (5727).


Summary

The Rebbe teaches that participating in communal campaigns like Keren Chana during auspicious times—especially before Hoshana Rabbah—brings special merit, as these are days when G‑d is especially close to us.
