YUD/YUD-ALEF SHEVAT APPEAL
To all of Anash and the tmimim, greetings and many blessings!
We are approaching the great and holy day of Yud/Yud-Alef Shevat, the yom hilula of the Admor Rayatz and the start of the nesius - “and the sun rose and the sun set” - of the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach.
These days are particularly auspicious for further strengthening hiskashrus to our king and Nasi. Since Kupas Rabbeinu tries to continue and expand upon all of the Rebbe’s holy work, all who take part in strengthening and expanding this fund have a share in strengthening the Rebbe’s work.
We urge and encourage every one of Anash and the Tmimim to utilize these auspicious days to awaken with a true inspiration and donate generously to Kupas Rabbeinu. By doing so, your hiskashrus to the eternal head of this fund, i.e. the Rebbe MH”M, Nasi Doreinu, will be further strengthened. This will open an additional channel to receive his bounty and blessings which continue to draw down and flow and provide blessing constantly.
We hope that even beforehand, and immediately, we will merit the fulfillment of the promise of “arise and sing,” and we will see the hisgalus of Melech HaMoshiach, the Rebbe Nasi Doreinu, and he will take us out of this bitter galus and lead us upright to our holy, complete land with the true and complete Geula, now mamosh.
On behalf of Kupas Rabbeinu, R’ Samuel Malamud Groner family
R’ Yosef Boruch Spielman
P.S. Of course, you may send to Kupas Rabbeinu all contributions that you would send to the Rebbe; all will be devoted to the activities to which the Rebbe would devote them. You may also send Maimad, Keren-Hashono (this year 5785 - 355 days), Magbis etc. to Kupas Rabbeinu

Beyond Speech
The Redemption Is Becoming a Reality
By Rabbi Yitzi Hurwitz
Parshat Mishpatim begins: "And these are the laws that you should set before them." It is strange for a parshah to begin with "and," which means that what comes next is in addition to what came before. What does that mean here?
In the previous portion we had read about the giving of the 10 Commandments at Sinai. Rashi explains that "and" tells us that “just as the former [10 Commandments] were from Sinai, so are these [latter mitzvahs] from Sinai."
The previous parshah ended with laws about the Temple altar. Rashi asks: "Why is the parshah of laws next to the parshah of the altar? To teach you that the Sanhedrin, should be next to the Temple."
Now that we know that the laws here symbolize the Sanhedrin, the Jewish court, we will understand why the verse requires that the laws be placed "before them." As Rashi explains, you should bring your disputes before the Jewish court, "and not before that of the nations, and even if you know that they judge a certain law like Jewish law, don't bring it to their courts."
If they adjudicate the law in the same way as the Jewish court, why not bring it before them?
The point that Rashi is clarifying is that the laws that follow are from Sinai, from G-d. Even though they make sense, to the point that even the non-Jewish people see them the same way, we should keep them not because they make sense, but because they are G-d’s will.
Perhaps we can take it a step further. The reason it makes sense to us and even to the world, is because it is G-d's wisdom, the Torah. Because the Torah is the blueprint with which G-d created the world, and it is the system that G-d imbued in the world, it makes sense.
Why does Rashi say "in addition to the first?" It is because there was something new that was added with the giving of these laws at Sinai that could now be understood. This is in line with what the
Midrash tells us, that the separation between above and below was removed when the Torah was given. Now we can understand G-d's wisdom. In other words, G-d's wisdom can permeate our minds and the minds of the people of the world. This is why in some cases, their law is in agreement with Torah.
In truth, when the other nations rule in line with the seven laws that G-d gave to the children of Noah, even though they make sense, they should do it because it's G-d's will. When they do, they receive the title, "The Pious of the Nations of the World." This is because they are also obligated to believe in G-d and shun idol worship.
This will be realized in its fullest when Moshiach comes. As the Rambam says, "there will not be any occupation, other than to know G-d ... As it says, "For the world will be filled with the knowledge of G-d." And this is true for the nations of the world as well. At that time, people will be able to grasp and understand the "knowledge of G-d," the deep esoteric concepts that we experienced at the giving of the Torah, with their minds.
Parshat Mishpatim follows the laws of the altar in parshat Yitro. And, as mentioned above, "Why is the parshah of laws next to the parshah of the altar? To teach you that the Sanhedrin should be next to the Temple." And it precedes parshat Terumah, which has the verse, "You shall make for Me a sanctuary," which is the commandment to build the Temple. Both of these laws reach their ultimate perfection with the coming of Moshiach, when the Sanhedrin will be at the highest level of Torah knowledge and will be next to the third and everlasting Temple.
Sandwiched between them is the parshah of Mishpatim, symbolic of G-d's knowledge being understood by the people. Meaning that the idea of the redemption also becomes a reality in the minds of the people of the world. And this becomes clearer and clearer as the redemption nears. May he come soon. The time has come.
