MaimonedesThe

WE are reminded by the Rebbe often in his talks that the times reflect the events that take place in the Torah and that our job is to examine the Divine Providence of this relationship and give meaning and direction to our lives.
This means that life in our world reflects and is given impetus by the Torah reading of the week and more specifically the daily Torah portion. Foe example yesterday , Thursday's reading, deals with the Biblical borders of the Promised Land. One of the unremarkable details to the casual reader is that the Sea of Galilee called the Kineret,is placed entirely in the Promised Land's side of the border,despite lying between the Promised Land and the captured areas which were also part of ancient Israel.
On Thursday we were honored worldwide by the collective syum or conclusion of the entire Book of the Mishneh Torah ,known in Torah Circles as the main work of the Rambam-Maimonedes.
What is the connection between the Promised Land and the conclusion of Maimonedes' Magnum Opus? Maimonedes is buried in Tiberius near the very Kineret mentioned here!
What is the topic of the last Halachot of Maimonedes' work?
The coming of Moshiach to reinstate all of the Laws of the Torah mentioned in his work. Among the Commandments to be re instituted are the Laws of the Shemita and Jubillee years. These laws have different application with respect to the Promised Land and all other lands captured by Jewish Kings including Moses'captured lands.
This comes the same day as a report that the UN cartographers have decided that a portion of the Golan belongs to Lebanon. This means that the Torah is stating that the boundaries of Israel
which Halachically include the Shaba farm, are immutable and no amount of sabre rattling will change that.
What are our obligations after reading the Torah , Maimonedes and the newspaper, or not in that
order? We must affirm our unshaken Faith that the Holy Land -all of it is ours and that if and when it shall come into our hands we will not deliver it back to the nations who violently took them from us. We are not to attack other nations in the interim for those territories until Moshiach comes and will lspeak in G-D's name and reclaim our rightful place.
In the interim , our job is to keep the Mitzvas as best as we can. For until Moshiach comes the Laws of Shmita and Yovel and the Temple are not operable. Our main activity should be Ahavas Yisroel which includes making every Jew and lehavdil Goy aware that the ways of Torah are the ways of kindness and compassion. We must teach the world the value of life even while we champion the pursuit of Truth. That is that the whole world is not on automatic pilot and that there is
Force that directs all, whose Commandments and Moral teaching He Gave in the Torah.
The same day, we read of the clay tablet that confirms the identity of an insignificant player of the history of the Temple's destruction. We see from here that all the minor details of the Torah are exact. So Too , how much more so are the major teachings true and incumbent upon the whole world to follow.
