On the statement of our Sages - "The Holy One, blessed be He, exiled Israel among the nations only so that converts would be added to them" - Chassidic teachings explain that this is not only to be understood literally (since not many converts were added during the years of exile that would justify the entire descent into exile). Rather, the meaning of "converts" refers to the sparks of holiness that were scattered throughout the world and in physical things. Through the dispersion of the Jewish people throughout the world, they refine and elevate the sparks of holiness in each and every place, so that at the completion of this work, the entire world becomes worthy and ready for redemption. | On the statement of our Sages - "The Holy One, blessed be He, exiled Israel among the nations only so that converts would be added to them" - Chassidic teachings explain that this is not only to be understood literally (since not many converts were added during the years of exile that would justify the entire descent into exile).
