The Mission of the Divrei Emuna

A story ofRav Doniel Frischהרב דניאל בן נפתלי הרצקא פריש

The whole story began when Rav Doniel Frisch started spending time in Meron. He was summoned by the Rebbe of Toldos Aharon, the Divrei Emuna, and given a mission and a shelichus.

The Divrei Emuna handed Rav Doniel a handwritten manuscript. Tears filled his eyes as he gazed at a new commentary on the Zohar that the Rebbe himself was writing. Then the Rebbe said, “I have a tradition that the Chozeh of Lublin told his talmidim that before the coming of Moshiach, a Jew will come forth who will compose a new commentary on the Zohar and enlighten the eyes of Klal Yisroel, who await the redemption. I thought I would be that person, and so I began to write a commentary, as you can see. But I feel that I am growing weak and my ability is not what it once was. I am asking you to let me appoint you as my shaliach, my emissary, to fulfill this mission: to author a commentary on the holy Zohar that will be appropriate for all souls, one that will open the gates of the Zohar and allow everyone to understand the Toras HaRashbi.”

Rav Doniel nodded his consent, and the Divrei Emuna listed for him several benefits and ideas that the commentary should contain. Rav Doniel agreed, and so the Mosok Midevash was composed.
