Rabbi Chiya Rabah said to Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This, my master, is the path to the redemption of Yisrael. Initially, it will come in small steps, but as it progresses, it will grow stronger&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, when Hashem redeemed Klal Yisrael (the Jewish nation) from Egypt, He did so in stages. At first, they received signs of encouragement from above, such as the miraculous birth of sextuplets (<em>shisha bikeres echad<\/em>, see Ritva in the Haggadah). Later, they saw Hashem\u2019s Mighty Hand through the <em>makkot<\/em>. Finally, they were taken out of Mitzrayim and openly witnessed the Glory of Hashem, with a Mighty Hand and an outstretched Arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Encouragement for Every Jew<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, when Hashem brings us out of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/parashat-devarim-nine-days-god-in-exile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">final exile<\/a>, He will offer encouragement along the way. Among the Jewish nation, some are on high spiritual levels, like towering mountains. Others may feel spiritually weak, like low valleys. Yet, Hashem will move from one Jew to another, giving each the encouragement needed to get ready for the final Redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the Kol Dodi, the Voice of Hashem, will jump from one mountain to the next, strengthening those on high spiritual levels, and leap from one valley to the next, lifting up those who need extra encouragement in their spiritual efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Promise of Complete Redemption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/bringing-the-final-redemption\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complete redemption will come upon all of us<\/a> in its full glory, swiftly in our days, <em>Amein<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button tm-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/sign-up.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about the redemption by phone, with a personal study partner.
