22nd of Adar

Chassidishe Ma'aseh
The children of Rabbi Vogel of Manchester were afflicted with chronic asthma. After trying many doctors they decided to go to the Rebbe who directed them to Dr. Sinclair. The family arrived at the Drs. office while he was busy with another patient so the Dr. told the father that the children can play in the yard until he was free. All of the sudden the children ran in and the Dr. was shocked to see that they were all in the midst of an asthma attack! After he treated them he asked them where they had been playing, and they pointed to a bush. He then asked the parents if they had such a bush at home, and they answered in the affirmative. He advised them to uproot the bush. Perhaps the children were allergic to it. The parents followed the advice and the attacks stopped! The Dr. later said, How did the Rebbe know to send them to me? How did it happen that just when they came I was busy? And how did it happen that in my spacious garden they chose to play next to that specific bush? If this isn't a miracle then what is it!?

Ask the wise men of many cultures, and they will tell you that all is temporal, all will pass, there is nothing in this world to cling to, only to transcend.
Ask a sage of the Torah and he will tell you it is not true. The vanities of time, the failures of life, they all pass as clouds on a windy day, but truth lives forever.
This is the meaning of the thirteenth of the thirteen principles of our faith, the belief that those who lived true lives will live again, in a real and corporeal way. It is a rejection of temporalism, a confirmation that there are things in the world that really matter, that have endless meaning and absolute purpose.
Whenever a G-dly act is performed, all involved are elevated beyond time. Save a life--you are Noah saving the entire world. Feed weary travelers--they are the angels coming to visit Abraham and Sarah. And Abraham and Sarah are hosting them with you.
In fact, all those who had truth in their lives are here with us today. It is only that we are so much a part of this river of time, we cannot lift our heads to see above it.
Only when the falseness of the world will be ripped away and all is elevated to a place of truth, then we shall all see each other, together once again.
