Waiting can bring redemption closer

Noach could not leave the ark without Hashem’s command. Yet he opened the window and sent out the birds to look for signs of a world ready to be rebuilt.

The Rebbe explains that Hashem had entrusted Noach with a mission. That responsibility already called for initiative. Our longing for redemption can likewise lead to actions that hasten its arrival.

Today, give that longing a practical expression: one more mitzvah, a moment of Torah study, a gift of tzedakah. Hashem brings redemption; we can act to bring it closer.
