I S S U E 897 Noach / October 23, 2025 / 1 Mar-Cheshvan, 5786 Dear Friend, We are pleased to share an insight by the Rebbe on parshat Noach, excerpted from our Daily Wisdom, adapted by Rabbi Moshe Wisnefsky. Nature and The Shabbat As long as the earth lasts, seedtime or harvest, cold or hot seasons, summer or winter, day or night will never cease. (Gen. 8:22) G-d's promise gave permanence to creation after the Flood, solidifying the natural order. This did not mean, however, that G-d confined us irrevocably within the bounds of nature, either physically or spiritually. Rather, He charged His people with the task of infusing nature with transcendent consciousness. To enable them to do this, He gave them the gift of the weekly Sabbath. Although the world remains in motion on the Sabbath, operating within time and space, through celebrating the Sabbath and observing its laws, we experience transcendence over creation. We thus effect the synthesis of creation and transcendence by experiencing transcendence within creation. --Daily Wisdom Vol. 3 Gut Shabbos, Rabbi Yosef B.
