Gathering The Scattered Ones

This discourse was delivered by the Rebbe on Shabbat Parshat Nitzavim-Vayelech, 5727 (1967). The verse 'Even if your scattered ones will be at the ends of the heavens, from there G-d will gather you' is explored on both a simple and a spiritual level. The Rebbe teaches that the physical gathering of the Jewish people at the Redemption requires first the spiritual gathering of scattered souls, as the unity of the Jewish people is the prerequisite for divine blessing.
