Vaetchanan: Chapter 31

"Lo, it is yet high day"

Synopsis

Rabbi Shimon says that at the end of the exile Yisrael will return to the Holy Land through the merit of their study in the Torah, but this depends on their repentance. Another explanation of the title verse is that the day of exile was lengthened due to Yisrael's evil deeds. Yisrael cannot gather together until harsh Judgment is removed by the Holy Sfirot. We learn that "the end of days" refers to Malchut, who shall be returned to her place, and the great mating that will take place between Zeir Anpin and Malchut.
