Even if we are not personally fighting the physical war on the Euphrates and Tigris, each of us has our own battles by the rivers of Babylon. Babylon represents confusion [“He named it Babel, because this was the place where G-d confused (balal) the world’s language, and it was from there that G-d dispersed [humanity] over all the face of the earth – Genesis 11:9]. It also refers to the “soiled garments of mundane matters and worldly desires” (Tanya, Iggeret HaKodesh ch. 4). The rivers of Babylon refers to the (the rivers) of human reason which is intermingled with lies (Tzemech Tzedek, Psalm 137), the rivers that channel energy and feed the confusion and blind distortions of the material world. Mundane matters and material desires cloud our judgment and don’t allow us to see our soul’s mission. #ShareTheRebbe >> sharetherebbe
