Rabbi Naftali Silberberg explains that bringing Moshiach requires a 'bottoms-up' approach where individuals must internalize Hashem's will rather than simply following explicit commands. Using the example of the Meraglim (spies) sent by Moshe and Yehoshua without divine command, the Rebbe teaches that when Hashem does not tell us what to do, it is not a mistake but an opportunity for spiritual growth. The Rebbe was overjoyed when told he was not being commanded, because this represented the highest level of trust and connection. The key insight is that we must figure out what to do ourselves, not just follow instructions, to achieve true spiritual alignment with Hashem's will.

The Secret to Bringing Moshiach (Even Without God's Command) | Rabbi Naftali Silberberg
Added:So this shabas, the shabas is also and the last the last time that we heard the on this part was it's a we're going to be learning today a very very I would say it's a historic So uh there's no way of there's no way of uh this is all subjective but if you if you maybe made me make a list what are the top top 50 that has to know so I'm sure every single person would make a different list but if I was making a list this would be on my list very in terms of understanding of of the world of our aid of and how we bring mashia the connection obviously to to tonight's class. So it's a little like dama. So the rebal the reb arrives in um New York on how fast event it was Monday or Tuesday that year I don't I don't remember exactly but for many years did not know did not know about this we did not know the exact date when the rebba arrived in in America said that the rebba arrived in that was it then was um started being printed the egress of the one of the from you notifying someone if I recall correctly one of the one of the lawyers was involved in the but today the arrived so at that point I think it was around that's when found out that the of the not the date what happened on the date is Is it? Is it not a y? Okay. So already right away there were many you know they would make but to go and to have the guy to decide something becomes a a real yumptive a real wasn't uh that didn't happen until so actually this year is going to be 40 years 40 years.
40 years since the first time that was celebrated what happened that year I think one of them was Greenberg from Alaska if I remember correctly from Alaska another one and they decided that year was a shabas that they're going to make a big in 770 on mat shambas and they actually hung up a sign on the back of 770 and the might of vant of 770 Back then the miter was it was just was a bleachers on top of that was the wall and people went over to them you're crazy how's going to take this compliment sorry I'm talking about love.
I bought I bought him.
I don't know if that was Sorry.
I don't know if that was a sign of being what I'm saying or being what I was saying. I'm not sure which one it was.
>> Anyways, the bottom line is then at the end of end of that give up mashka.
people give mashk beforehand for for anything that's coming up dinner.
So they wanted to get mashk for this for this but um the didn't have the didn't have the to go to bring mash to stand up and to start talking about this so and they I think they asked wasn't as they asked mayor harlik if he can do it so mayor harlik said that uh we'll see they gave the bottle of mashka let's see how the fabangan goes let's see let's see how this works was the first time spoke about it and afterwards by so went up and when he was tonight in honor of the Reb added that is that for in this which we have over here actually if you look towards the end of the so talks I have page 545. If you look at the at the last paragraph, This is the going back to that's the time to note that if you look in in 97 there it talks about And you see it says let me tell you a little secret. I feel a little funny talking in front of over here. He knows all these secrets and he's going to start correcting me also. But um it doesn't mean that the wasn't like is that correct? That that went in. But whenever there was can't you can't have the actual so it'll always be a so for example whenever there's a letter from theb so it'll say let's say that date and then it'll have a um and this page so that's whenever you see that's what the reason why because it has over there anyways So here we have again and this once again the is very very much the greatest thing but and we'll get back to later in the sh that theb starts talking about the now the whole story is a there's a there's someone who's a here today member of an esteemed member member of Dash who wasn't always a lab he actually went to Lit grew up in Litfish house and went and I heard from him he told me he became he became a lab and he told me once well how did he become a lab he lived in B park and one day I guess was either he went into and he sees over there is lying over there from the still today that we go around to to to put out the that's something in my days in that was something that did on Thursday night. went to different schools and put out happens today doesn't happen today. What happens to sometimes you think there's no he said he became from that why because it was the from from he says he read the and then he found and he's like for the first time in his life the stories made sense to him such a story the story the the whole story of the par that the Eden comes suddenly after after going out and after and after and after they can't go in it doesn't make any sense Unless you learn and suddenly everything is light and everything but that's we all know about that we all know the the famous question and the famous answers but here in this is going to focus on a different on some different questions I spoke to someone who was by the and he told me that he remember that when the finished asking the questions and this he thought to himself The Reb dug a hole that's so deep. How's he gonna get himself out of it? In other words, the questions are so good. They're so strong. How how are we how are we going to answer how are we going to answer these questions? And I'm going to do these questions outside. Maybe we'll do a little inside, but we're not not going to be able to do the whole inside. Maybe we'll do a selected like this. We know that the did not command to send to the contrary. They say there was all the way around the come to and they said and says let me ask the so what does the say he responds he says you know tell us what does that mean I'm not telling you what to do as you think so hears that and he says Okay. And it's a good idea.
This is not the first time this happened. It's not the first time that Misha didn't know what to do and he goes and he queries the and ask the what do I do? What are some other cases or examples of this? Sorry is a good one.
Yeah. What's another one?
But happened afterwards was not so he asked the we didn't even find but sorry that brought we had it two weeks ago right and didn't know what to do so he went to the says this is this is what you should do he said this what you should Here's the first time goes to and he says, "What do I do?" And what does say to him?
I don't know. I have no opinion on this.
I have no opinion. Whatever you think this would have been the biggest stop sign, the biggest red flag for one second. Thear is not commanding the doesn't have an opinion on this. There's something not the seder over here. If it was a good thing would tell me to do it told me told me it's the first time in the history gets I don't know and and and let's take a step further.
>> Sorry.
secret.
>> That is already Right.
>> Yeah.
Right.
>> Right.
But that's something.
>> No one's running anywhere.
Even in they try to censor the drama.
I'm also two that come to mind is um and then zoo What?
You see even even look at the you see the the drama over there. I'm almost at this. Yeah.
You remember the >> you remember was right.
No.
>> From what?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Way before that.
>> It's not in the It's not in the house.
Okay.
Okay.
The people there also was a very uh right that is buried here that okay sorry for the yes sorry for the interruption anyways um So looked at the mat and he saw okay what can be bad it can only be it can't be nothing nothing could go wrong what do we find out what's the next thing that happens is that he says he calls Yeshua and says in other words there's nothing to be gained because already dish already said that it's Allah right the land is amazing land is going to take them in and there's a problem there's over here so things could go bad and the didn't tell you to do it so why are you doing it that's the second question and then comes the last question so they say the kicker okay so we all know that as they say the rest is And because of that, the Eden for 40 years they're busy valkconing in the desert.
But then finally the next day is ready to go on Misha Mishallik. Yeshua takes over and Yeshua who was very very familiar with the story of the Magland. After all, he was one of the Magland.
What is the very first thing that Yeshua does?
sends.
Did tell him to do it?
Take a look in page uh 3 537.
Let's read somehow saved.
I have to translate every word. What's it say over here? What? By the time you get to the Okay.
>> Sorry.
>> Some of you. Okay.
That the whole generation had to stay outside.
Yeshua goes and And also once again he's not commanded if look at other 25 interesting the says there's not a question Yeshua wouldn't have done it We don't find out writes that they should command but that's not I think once again the goes back and says that did command okay but at the end of the day we don't find it back in the sawility He wasn't worried about the bad the first time.
He was one of them and he was only saved.
So if we're puzzled the first time that were sent why did it didn't command him to do it and even though the something can go wrong and guess even worse that 40 years later talk about you know to make a mistake once and to go to repeat it and and Yeshua goes and does the same the second time around it ended up it ended up well but that doesn't change the question what So the answer is we're going to do mostly outside with some actually the Reb learns it differently than almost every other place in this where Explain almost the opposite never explains as follows. There's two is what does that mean? I have a my is a B. So what do I do?
Push my aside. I'm going to do what the Aish wants.
That's nice. But then there's a higher higher is that's not your but that your becomes in sync with the spreads and this is going to talk about the Which brings to mind the joke I it's not my say that say jokes but I'm old there's a joke which is s's a little funny and brings out very strongly not like when you start you know a speech and you have to say the rabbi and the minister walk in tabar stop to make sometimes a joke I say there was this English guy a British guy a very wealthy person and he goes off on vacation this is many years ago goes off on vacation to the Bahamas.
It's a two week vacation and um 3 4 days into the vacation he gets a telegram and the telegram has two words in it.
Cat died.
I know times they had telegrams. This is before all the other methods of communication that went through cables under the under under the ocean and through Morse code.
They would send beeps and you paid per word. So in a telegram theuda was he wanted to be as short as possible.
Cat died.
The shock was incredible. He realized that that his cat died. It was a telegram that he got from his butler. So can move on. He cuts his vacation short.
He goes back to England and there's a and there's some suitable a few days of and grief and mourning and probably therapy and then he still has a few days a week and a half of the vacation paid. So he he's going to go back to head back to the Bahamas. But before he goes he calls in the butler and says you did a terrible thing.
He says you know what happened you almost gave me a heart attack. Cat died.
wasn't ready for that. The shock, the grief of so what should I have done? You I shouldn't have told you about it. I said, "No, of course you had to tell me." So what should I have done? I You should have written me a telegram. It cost a few more dollars or pounds. You should have written cat stuck on roof.
And then a few hours later, he sent me another telegram. Cat fell very ill. And then a few hours later, cat died. And this way he didn't shock my system.
Brother says, "Yes, sir." Guy goes back off to the Bahamas. Two two days later, he gets a telegram. "Your mother stuck on the roof.
That's means we can call it that you don't get it.
It's not it's not you, but you're b You're doing what you were told and therefore you follow it 100%. You follow orders and directions. That's that's the end of the day that is saying is that your is the same. You're in sync and you understand and you get it and therefore you're not following orders.
You're on the same page.
Or to put it in that this year is 40 years.
which is exactly this to do what theb tells you to do. You don't need you don't need 40 years.
That's not you means that you get it.
that the says that was what the that's what the said that's what told at this point I trust you I trust you I trust I trust the I don't need them. I don't need to uh in the first years after G menal went to uh to Italy. So he once came he came came to New York he went and the Reb told him I don't remember the exact words if you go to Lady Gab will tell you the exact words.
says, "How much longer do I have to hold you by the hand and lead you like a like a little kid and you'll be to the says there are those areas where says do this and do that, do that, do this and don't do that." And then there's a whole other area doesn't tell us what to do. Maybe it doesn't tell us what to do. How are we supposed to know what to do?
And that's a higher and that's where is the ultimate as where there is no and here is where the the question is the is do we get it? Do we know what to do ourselves or do we not know what to do and let's look at page 538.
Listen to his words here.
Not only was going on over here telling me what to do was overjoyed when he heard that the saying I'm not telling you what to do.
He was overjoyed.
that what does it mean? Basically the earth was telling him guys you've grown up that the trust that the of the people Is it safer if the tells us exactly what to do at every single moment? Absolutely.
Because if we're left to mess ups could happen.
What? It happens, right? It happened but it doesn't mean it was doesn't mean it was a mistake is the highest in it's less safe but it's the highest right this is the idea this is what we're talking about over here and by the this was and that's why when Yeshua when it when it came time for Yeshua to go He didn't say, "Oh, we made a mistake last time. Why am I doing it this time?"
No, no, it wasn't a mistake. So what what was the mistake? Reb explains I could have really printed out. The reason I didn't put the dark climb I wanted everyone to have if you want afterwards you can learn the whole it's long the problem is that sometimes you can take too serious that when he like so we have to decide also if it could be done that was a mistake because was never that was never giving them to figure out what to do the was to figure out how to do not what to do and by this is a huge A huge in general and by the whole of is based on this asb explains this is what we're talking about here we're talking about that's connection that's why this is and our job our whole in this world is to make the world and that has to be done which is why every single is is sent a certain place and told and by the way it's only sent a certain place every single one of us it's a big word when I say I don't mean the one who comes and has and wears that uh the thing is is a certain is that is what means it's not for nothing that the name of this and as we'll see in a second that is the wants us to get it and wants us that it should be that we look at another ye the way the looks at another that our our worldview is the world view and that we're doing things not because the told me to but the highest because an interesting note if you look if you look in it's possible that the most common word that you'll find and his lapella or moin kerasi or such lenus which by the way in 2026 is it's very uh nonPC person asks you and what do you say asked a question supposed to say that's a good question but here's the answer I'm shocked Where's the shak and most of the places told the person what to do and therefore it's if I told you 20 times but if we understand what the is trying to do and the whole the whole the whole of the whole is all about makes perfect sense is like really you have that question did you learn myas you learn my and you have that Ever happened? You're watching a video dollars and a person goes by the Reb like a snag and ask the something really stupid and like you like really that's like you know what the Reb is going to respond right in a certain way. That's the way the Reb is looking. Really? That's your question. Do you not get it? If the Reb is a what's the word I'm looking for? a control freak and busy. I'm going to tell you do this, do that, do the other and don't write cat, right? Then I didn't tell you what to do. Then then you don't know what to do. But the is not trying to tell the whole is you go off somewhere and you're not told what to do.
Like really, it's a ridiculous thing.
You think about it. There is no template.
A person goes to and what's the rule book? What am I supposed to do there?
How do I go figure it out?
Double that by the way to the end of the paras where it's not even the biggest the greatest is when there is no when there is no when there is that's not you. It's not you. When someone asks you to do something, even if you do it, even whether do it or not, to a certain extent, you are being the the of that person.
You're doing what they want. You're not doing what you want.
You don't have to do it. And that's why it's exact this is tob speaks many places the mile of a meaning the mile of the mile of something that's not written the mile of where you express yourself.
What does that have to do with let's do let's read 544 Notice what means that we should say became the gala.
is that um whenever there's a there's a tough base of um base the Reb says over there that our day was that the specialness of was Scotland in our generation through the fact that the reb was born on another day very interesting deal say in our generation became special because the was born that way the specialness of of the day was because whenever we have when something special happens on a day it's or the words the rabbi uses again almost every single minor grammar. What does that what does mean that's the of the which if I could take it somewhere else so that as as the as the generations went on more and more of the specialness of different days was this gala and if I said before as a so it's not only that it was but the fact that it wasn't inspire till was also obviously so is the second to last that was before the last a year later half year later right so there's something about and that both of them are very connected with each other in this what what is so let's Okay. Everybody says why as we get closer to Msiah right now the month of the day comes to that we have the which is of the entire month which What is the what is the world began?
interesting tak by the way somewhere in the I don't remember where the says that the day when was anyone knows the date in the year when the then we have the next day we have the that comes that is the we get what is Let me do the first inside. What is the idea of talks is the idea of that there's says that that the was only and if you count if the top of the world that's the highest place so Everything on the top from again is is that is the top. So everything is the is is on that half is everything underneath America Australia said that um that that wasn't wasn't terrible.
What does that mean? The way the Reb understands this year that represents the mountain. So what so therefore where does come from? It's the It's not that the are telling us what to do and bringing down into our world.
You bring it in where the doesn't tell you what to do and we have to figure out to do and that's the final frontier of bring is this idea of let's paragraph Muslim.
means what happened then began to Anyways, that as we stand over here in the moment before Mashia comes, it's a incredible and also it's a little of a not that we're trying to for the in any which way, shape or form and now we're not not that we're happy with the the east matas which is analytic volcano but it's understood that the ultimate is happening right now when the when when the reb isn't over here telling us is telling us do this do that and the other how do we know what to And that's the ultimate in order to go into the ultimate is has to be whatever says If you want, you can take a look. I'm we're going to finish off now, but if you want to see interesting in the this page 540, second column and and footnote over there and and 51 very very interesting what the says over there.
That's that's our as we're about to go into there has to be this idea of the idea of in order to go into order it's that we have to own it. We have to own what the rebba says own to be in sync with the says and not be that that that that butler who is a unbelievable but ultimately is missing the point that he's missing the whole thing.
