The Holy Way to Make a Living - Igeret Hakodesh Epistle 9
The 9th Letter of Igeret Hakodesh highlights the significance of Tzedakah, particularly in transforming our livelihood. The letter opens by addressing Chasidim as beloved friends and emphasizes a spiritual perspective on earning a living. The Alter Rebbe encourages recognizing divine oneness in mundane tasks, referencing the verse "Mi keamcha yisroel goy echod Baaretz."
The Alter Rebbe urges seeing God's unity in all aspects of life, including money matters. This mindset of sustaining fellow Jews reflects divine kindness and enlivens souls. The Alter Rebbe explains that supporting one's family is also Tzedakah, aligned with Hashem's will.
The Alter Rebbe promises that embracing Tzedakah's transformative power and aligning actions with divine kindness will usher in redemption, revealing spirituality in the material world and paving the way for the arrival of Mashiach.
