Editing Ingathering of the Exiles (section)

==== Ingathering of Exiles Spiritually - Refinement of Sparks ====
Our Sages said: "The Holy One, blessed be He, performed an act of charity with Israel by scattering them among the nations," and it is explained that through "scattering them among the nations," it becomes easier to refine sparks. Since the purpose of exile, "scattering them among the nations," is for the refinement of sparks, it follows that the work of refining sparks is preparation for the coming of Moshiach, and through each and every spark that is refined, we bring the coming of Moshiach closer. It is known that the work of refining sparks is the spiritual aspect of "ingathering of exiles," and this is also the preparation for the physical ingathering of exiles.
