Editing Techiyat HaMeytim - Resurrection of the Dead (section)

==== All Israel to the World to Come, Which is Not the Case with Gan Eden ====
All Israel will arise in the resurrection, which is not the case with Gan Eden where there are several conditions (even to enter the lower Gan Eden) because Gan Eden is a reward for Torah study (the soul's part in Torah) which is primarily related to the Neshamah of a person, and in the soul, which is a matter of revelations, there can be deficiencies, but the fulfillment of mitzvot is related to the body, which is the choice of the Essence, therefore it applies to all Israel, as our Sages said, "Even the sinners of Israel are as full of mitzvot as a pomegranate," and it is explained in Chassidut that the mitzvah that a Jew performs fills his entire existence, and through this he will merit the resurrection of the dead "and through this they will be elevated (afterwards) to a higher level where the virtue of Israel will be revealed from their own essence, that they are 'a branch of My planting, the work of My hands, in which to take pride,' which is even higher than the drawing down that is drawn through the fulfillment of mitzvot."

Elsewhere, the Rebbe says that Gan Eden depends on a person's service, and there are several conditions to merit Gan Eden, whereas the World of Resurrection belongs to each and every one of Israel, "All Israel have a portion in the World to Come," regardless of their status and condition in divine service.

And regarding those who did not fulfill mitzvot?

The Rebbe says: First of all - such a reality does not exist, as our Sages said, "Even the empty ones among you (the sinners of Israel) are as full of mitzvot as a pomegranate."

Moreover: It is stated in the Gemara, "From when does a minor come to the World to Come? From the time he is born, as it is said, 'They shall come and declare His righteousness to a people that shall be born, for He has done it'" [and there is an opinion "from the time he is conceived (even if his mother miscarried and he was dissolved), as it is written, 'A seed shall serve Him'"] - although "at the time of birth" he is not yet capable of fulfilling mitzvot, and we must conclude that the matter of the resurrection of the dead is due to the very existence of the body of the Israelite person itself.
