A New Heart & A New Spirit

Hashem is currently fulfilling the prophecy of, " And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will place within you." If you look into the depths of the heart of Jews, as opposed to their external behavior, this is quite clear. We need to prepare ourselves to welcome the new heart and new spirit which is coming to us from above. They will fill our lives with spiritual wealth, and infuse us with a sense of purpose.

It will affect all facets of the nation. It will awaken a spirit of Teshuva within those who have left the path of Torah to follow popular culture, and bring them to taste of the sweetness of Torah and Mitzvot.

Those who are currently observant will find an expanded experience of life that will awaken a spirit of unity deep in their hearts. Dissension and separation will dissipate along with limited small mindedness. We will feel as one people, one soul, one body shining with the light of Torah. Filled with a deep appreciation for life and uplifting holiness.

It will renew the unity that existed at Sinai, "Like one man with one heart." There will be a great desire to build a Sanctuary, a central home which will give expression to this level of life. Like a family that wants a home of its own, the familial feeling within the family of  Israel will desire one house in which we can all gather to express our strong, united, spirit which feels the entire nation as one. And feels the hearts beating within each and every Jew.

A person will no longer be satisfied with a large and beautiful synagogue for his own congregation, or a place to study Torah for people of his own background. Rather, his eyes and heart will be drawn to the place where the Tribes had traditionally gathered to praise God. With a fresh heart we will all experience what Dovid said, "I rejoice when they say to me 'To the House of God we go.'''
