Father, Where Are You? | The Lubavitcher Rebbe

The purpose of exile has been explained with a parable: G-d hides from us, like a father hides from his son - in order to evoke the son's deepest desire to find his father and be close to him again.
But after looking for so long, the son is liable to give up the search! He may even forget that the father is there altogether. The Jew may continue to adhere to Jewish law, but no longer hope for a meaningful relationship with G-d. And when confronted about this he can respond: "Why complain to me? Complain to G-d! How long must we wait for Him?" G-d is the One Who makes man finite and limited, and the exile seems to be more than man can handle. When a person increases the Divine light in his life, and specifically a real and tangible joy, then "joy bursts through barriers" - it tears down the barriers within himself, and the thick barriers of the darkness of exile.

I was getting emotional with the Rebbe. I hear his struggling. He took on so much on our behalf. He still does. Baruch Hashem.

Hearing the Rebbe, of blessed memory, getting emotional, gives this teaching so much more depth of meaning.

Very moving speech and the rebbe obm was very moved and stirred in his spirit for the love of his children the children of Israel which Hashem had entrusted into his care and charge I cry and shuttered to think the crushing levity of his yoke of heaven upon his shoulders the task beyond human understanding…

The message here is a painful one that many people can unfortunately relate to. Whatever G-d's intention is in hiding Himself from man, it is hard for a person, with all his or her physical and mental frailties to keep on searching. Everyone knows someone who is struggling with employment, family problems, depression, substance abuse, etc. And these individuals search and search for G-d in earnest, sometimes for years, but without tangible results. They genuinely feel as if G-d has abandoned them. This situation is indicative of our exile as a whole, and nothing but the complete redemption will save us. But the redemption keeps being postponed and we're at a loss for why that is. The Rebbe's solution, that we must in the meantime have joy in our lives, is indeed the answer, and it requires effort on our part to be genuinely happy and to not let the vicissitudes of life get us down.

Indeed. As the father plays the hiding game. It comes a time the son just stops searching. Sad indeed but very very true. How sad we are still in exile. Perhaps very foolish on the fathers part. But life is what it is.

It is not foolish on the fathers part. Read Devarim 28

Does anyone know what version Rebbe uses? As a gentile believer I am at a loss to find the scripture of "I shall hide", so I can note his insight.

Job tells us where God is and what He's doing. It also tells us what we can do with suffering in our lives...put it Gods hands and quit complaining. All creation is a beautiful and huge tapestry God is making for us..we only see part of His vast creation with our puny little telescopes and yet man thinks he knows where the universe came from (nowhere) among other rediculous claims being taught to our children. God is not here in todays society...and it isn't HIS fault.

@zachskrit My thanks to you, and my apologies for being so sillyy. As a Gentile convert to Messianic Judaism, I hadn't thought that far through. I have considered learning Hebrew (and Greek) but am put off by tlack of time. Shalom, and thanks again.
