Schneerson. the Lubavitcher Rcbbe, by Rabbi Yossi New, Chabad of Georgia “And G-d completed on the seventh day His work which he had made.” On this well-known verse Rashi comments that the Almighty finished His work of creation not before Shabbat (the seventh day), but a hair’s breadth into Shabbat. Why did the Al mighty choose to act in this way? What teaching can we derive from this action? Each of us is required to devote time to Torah study as far as his individual occupation per mits. Some may fulfill their obli gation of Torah study with only one verse in the morning and another at night, and there are others. Torah scholars, of whom it is demanded that they occupy themselves with uninterrupted Torah day and night. To such a scholar the thought might occur, “Granted that I must study more than the businessman, because of the time I have available, but why to such an extreme? He ful fills his duty with a verse by day and again by night, yet if I occupy myself with Torah for almost the entire day, why is idling away a trifle of time so terrible?” G-d did not create anything purposeless in the universe. Time, too, is a creation; every smallest instant of time has a particular, meaningful purpose for which it was created. If a person willfully wastes a moment of time, which G-d brought into being specifi cally for him to spend purpose fully, it is indeed a crime. This was what the Almighty indicated by ending creation a hair’s breadth into Shabbat—how precious ev ery moment is, how vital it is to make full use of every instant! As long as there is an opportunity to serve G-d and man, the oppor tunity should be fully utilized, to the last possible moment. Another point: As it is with the individual so is it also with the Rabbi Schneerson community at large—our entire present generation. One might think, “All the richly endowed previous generations have passed on, the generations of the great tzadikim and the lofty souls, the patriarchs, Moses, the prophets, the scholars of the Talmud, Rashi and Maimonides. They have a- chieved and taught so much, contributed so much to Israel’s mission. What possible value can there be in the hair’s breadth of accomplishment that our last-of- the-last-generation can achieve?” But it was the hair’s breadth of G-d’s last-of-the-last stroke of creation that brought the entire universe to the Sabbath of fulfill ment; it is our efforts that can be the final “finishing touch” elevat ing the world to the Messianic state of eternal Shabbat-like peace.
