Yesterday, we learned how by using things in the world to do mitzvos, the chayus they were getting before from kelipah becomes kedusha! We make them shine with the light of Hashem!

To light Shabbos candles, you need to use your fingers to hold the match, your hands to cover your eyes, and your mouth to say the bracha. Where do you get the koach to move those parts of your body? From the food you eat! The same is true when you daven or learn Torah! Since the food helped you do the mitzvah, the chayus of the food that was from kelipah becomes kedushah!

So since we use food and other Gashmius things to help us do the mitzvah, not only does our OWN body become connected with Hashem, but all of the Gashmius things which help us do the mitzvos also become kedusha!

As we use the koach of the Gashmius world for more and more mitzvos, we will end up making the chayus from kelipah of the WHOLE world into Kedusha!

That will be completely finished at the time of the Geulah. Here’s how it works:

When Moshiach will come, two special things will happen:

1) Tumah will go away — “Ve’es Ruach Hatumah Aavir Min Haaretz” — and all the bad things that are because of tumah will disappear.

2) The world will be a Dira Betachtonim — Hashem will be felt in the world, so we will be able to see and feel all of the good things that come from Hashem!

Through our Avodah during Golus, we are making these two things happen!

Every time we stop ourselves from doing an aveira, we are taking chayus away from tumah, because it only gets chayus from aveiros. So when we don’t do an aveira, we are taking tumah away from the world, which will be finished when Moshiach comes.

And when we do a mitzvah, we bring Hashem into the world, which will also be complete when Moshiach comes!!

So when Yidden all work together to stop ourselves from doing aveiros and putting in effort to do mitzvos, we’re making the Geulah happen!
