HaShem desired to reveal His will to man, and therefore prepared a process of revelation through which He makes Himself known to mortal man in the physical world. Through this process, HaShem reveals whatever He desires, whether it be His secrets and mysteries, concept of His providence, or decrees that He is issuing regarding the world. This process is called prophecy.

Rav K’tina asserts that the world is destined to exist six thousand years. In the seventh millennium it will be obliterated (changed), when the world of this verse (Isaiah 2:11) will be fulfilled, “HaShem alone will be mighty on that day”… There is proof to the opinion of Rav K’tina, for we learn, “Just as each seventh year is Shmitta, a yeay of sabbatical, so the world will have a sabbatical one thousand years in a period of seven thousand, as the novi proclaims, HaShem alone will be mighty on that day.” Another verse, Psalms 92a, indicating the same idea: “A song, a poem for the day of Shabbot,” referring to a day of utter sabbatical. “Day” in these verses means one thousand years, as we learn from, Psalms 90:4, “One thousand years in Your eyes are like a day, like the previous day just passed.”

Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.
“Listen, O heavens, and I will speak! And let the earth hear the words of my mouth!” (Deuteronomy 31:2) The word of G-d from Mount Sinai speaks to us constantly, day and night, calling upon us to repent. It is up to us to hear this voice. Man himself has a heavenly, spiritual side to whom G-d addresses: “Listen, O heavens, and I will speak!” And man has an earthly, physical side which can weigh him down, to which G-d speaks, “And let the earth hear the words of my mouth!” G-d loves both aspects of man. His voice can be heard, if we but choose to listen.

The sublime joy of repentance. Seen by some from the “outside” as a day of doom and gloom, Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year, is described by our sages as the happiest day of the year. What could possibly be more joyful than being given the Divine gift of being able to “come clean” before G-d? What happier moment could occur than the experience of G-d erasing our past sins and granting us the opportunity to begin again as righteous ones before Him?

Repentance removes the blemish in precisely the same manner. Power to act is taken away from the particular Force of Corruption (that parallels the sin), and therefore, the influence of holiness is brought back and appropriately transmitted.

“And I will surely hide My face in that day.” (Deuteronomy 31:18) When we transgress our covenant with G-d it is our own feelings of remorse and self disappointment that create a distance between ourselves and G-d, causing Him to hide His countenance from us. But this terrifying sense of remoteness is no more than a self-generated illusion, as G-d is always with us, in our good moments and our bad.

On Rosh HaShana the book of life is opened before G-d, King of all creation. But it is our actions and intentions that determine whether our names wil be enscribed within the book of life, or the other book.
The custom on Rosh HaShana is to eat foods which can be seen as representing the positive things we hope will transpire over the coming year. This is not done as a lighthearted descent into superstitious practice, G-d forbid! but as a vehicle to focus and make clear our intentions to make positive change occur. The power to enscribe our names into G-d’s good book, and to write our own narratives belongs exclusively to us, the faithful subjects of the King of the universe.

“Even if you are dispersed in the ends of heaven, from there will HaShem your G-d gather you in, and from there He will take you.” (Deuteronomy 30:4) Parashat Nitzavim, the final parasha before Rosh HaShana, contains within in the Divine promise that G-d’s children will repent, and that, having done so, G-d will turn back their captivity, and gather them in.
Even if our teshuva - repentance - is not totally pure, but is done for reasons other than purely for the sake of heaven, that is, is done for reasons that are merely “dispersed in the ends of heaven,” even then G-d will accept our teshuva - and gather us in.

The main point of creation was that HaShem wanted to create man, who would then have the task of attaching himself to HaShem, thus to enjoy His true good. This is accomplished through the fact that man has two ways before him, one being good and the other evil; and man has the power to choose whichever he desires.

The angels are all HaShem’s servants, obeying His command. Everything in the world, whether good or bad, is done through them. Consequently, the angels are divided into two groups, one being good, and the other evil. That is, one group is appointed to do good, whether it be physical or spiritual, and others are appointed for evil, both physical and spiritual.

The redemption of Israel will proceed bit by bit. After each step, Israel will achieve higher levels of t’shuva, and through that, merit further benefits and closeness to HaShem. This is a never-ending cycle. The different visions of the degrees of knowledge available in the future no longer presents a problem, for at the coming of the Moshiach Israel will know little more than they did the day before. Eventually, however, they will achieve profound and broad learning and never forget it. Though the time of the Moshiach will begin with people as we know them today, Israel will gradually reach a level at which the Yaytser haRa is removed from them.

During the year that Moshe dealt with Parro there were many intermediate steps, besides the first unproductive interview with Parro, particularly the accelerating severity of the makkot (plaques). The redemption of Y’israel, as distinct punishment (blows) of the oppressors, was also gradual, as we see in the G’morroh (Rosh haShanna 11A).
