Separação
A separação traz dor profunda, mas a Bíblia nos consola com a promessa de que Deus nunca nos abandona. Seja na perda, na distância ou no luto, Ele é nosso refúgio.
Deus está presente na dor
O Senhor está perto dos quebrantados de coração e promete nunca nos deixar órfãos. Na separação, Ele é nosso consolo mais íntimo.
The tzaddikim cry, and Hashem heareth,
and delivereth them out of all their tzoros.
Yea, though I walk through the Gey Tzalmavet (Valley of the Shadow of Death),
I will fear no rah (evil);
for Thou art with me;
Thy shevet (rod) and Thy staff they comfort me.
He is the Rofeh (healer) of the Shevurei-lev (broken in heart),
binds up their wounds.
I will not leave you yetomim (orphans). I am coming to you.
When avi and immi forsake me,
then Hashem will take me up.
Esperança e conforto
A separação não é o fim. Deus transforma a dor em esperança, e o sofrimento presente produz uma glória eterna que supera toda aflição.

You are nitzrach (needy) of the kind of savlanut (patience) that has endurance, in order that, having accomplished the ratzon Hashem, you will receive the havtachah (promise).
That the genuineness of your Emunah, much more valuable than gold which though perishable is tested by Eish (Fire), may be found to the tehillah (praise) and the kavod (glory) and the tiferet (splendor) at the Hisgalus (Revelation, Apocalypse) of Moshiach Yehoshua.
Amor que persevera
O amor verdadeiro é mais forte que a separação. A fé nos sustenta e nos dá a certeza de que o reencontro virá.
Mayim rabbim (many waters) cannot quench HaAhavah,
neither can the floods drown it;
if a man would give
all the wealth of his bais for ahavah,
it would be utterly scorned.
And Mitzpah (Watch); for he said, Hashem watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
For this child I davened; and Hashem hath given me my petition which I asked of Him; Therefore also I make him one lent to Hashem; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to Hashem.

But what things were revach (gain, profit) to me, these things I considered loss, on account of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
