1.   Just as the moon waxes full on the 15th of the month, so, too, the Jewish people reach the apex of their Divine service for the month on the 15th of Tammuz. The redemption of Yud-Beis Tammuz reaches a higher level on the 15th, especially when Yud-Beis Tammuz occurs on Shabbos, which extends its blessing to the entire week. On Erev Shabbos, last week, the volume of “Maamarim 5685” was issued, in which one discourse applies to Yud-Beis Tammuz.

2.   The daughters of Tzelophchad observed the rules of maidenly modesty, yet their love for Eretz Yisrael forced them to be zealous and step slightly out of the normal mode of conduct by vociferously demanding their share of the land. We must introduce affection and zealousness in all our Divine service. True dedication of will.

3.   All the predestined dates have passed — we must demand Mashiach now! TheNasi should influence the Beis Din to rule “...He has redeemed.” Contribute tzedakah to the special funds. In Kfar Chabad the dedication of Beis Chabad took place today. It should encourage others to emulate their accomplishments all over the world. During the coming days study the laws of the Beis HaMikdash and increase Ahavas Yisrael and Jewish unity.
