The Rebbe said Torah on the verse "Haazinu hashamayim va'adabeira, v'tishma ha'aretz imrei fi" and brought out that the needs of Your people Yisroel are many. In earlier generations there were tzaddikim and holy people who were able to daven and plead for a good year for all of Klal Yisroel, but in our times there are no tzaddikim who can daven for us. The only hope is that the holy Torah will be a faithful advocate for Klal Yisroel, but when a person, chas v'shalom, commits a sin, it is written into the holy Torah, and therefore the Torah does not want to plead for Klal Yisroel. The Rebbe spoke with tears and aroused that the only counsel is to appease the holy Torah and to promise that we will be upright, hoping that the holy Torah will allow itself to be appeased and will advocate favorably for the Jewish children and bring about a gmar chasima tovah with all good things for all of Klal Yisroel.
