Pearls of Torah - 002 Kiruv In The End of Days

We are in the “End of Days” - mamash (in actuality). The Ohr HaChaim says that we are in the 50^th of Impurity and that we cannot get out unless we have the power of the Torah.

The 50^th Gate of Impurity cannot have any hamtakah “sweetening”[1] – it represents the epitome of evil, Amalek, which must be erased and destroyed. Normally, after we break evil, we can sweeten it. But in the End of Days, we are in the 50^th Gate of Impurity, which cannot be rectified or sweetened. The only way to rectify it when we finally break it – “breaking it is its purification”. It cannot be returned to holiness.

Therefore, in the End of Days, we are not able to use the concept of “hamtakah” at all towards the evil that we face.

This is a very subtle and deep point. If we don’t properly understand the situation we are in then we won’t know how to go about it.

If a person tries to return people who are found in the 50^th of Impurity, he will fall with them, and they will not either be returned. Kiruv Richokim is therefore very dangerous these days; a person has to very well if the person he is returning is the kind to bring him down with him or not. A person might fall together with the person whom he is trying to draw close to Judaism, who cannot be returned. This is the terrible danger to our spirituality which we face in the final generation.
