Yom HaAtzmaut

This lifting of the veil is the nature of the redemption. The truth will be unveiled. On the fifth day of Iyar, we celebrate that the State of Israel was born. Six hundred thousand Jews had made Aliyah, to an important degree survivors of the Shoah. On that day was the beginning of the birth of the redemption too, in the sense that the first of the three טצ"ץ wars was to begin. Six hundred thousand Jews, led by Chiloniut, caused the first defeat of the Sitra Achra.

This is the destiny of the State of Israel, and of those who want to be close to Hashem in truth: to fight the wars of Hashem and to be a tool of Hashem as He reveals the truth. Truth is revealed through goodness. And the goodness that will be bestowed upon the Jewish State will be so overwhelmingly wondrous that the "Chilonim" will grasp the Yichud of HaShem "in the beginning," which was in secrecy, from the Yichud in the end, which will be revealed, through reality.

ונמצאו כל סדרי העולמות בנויים על ענין גילוי היחוד, שנעשה בהעלם תחילה, וגילוי לבסוף

(Ramchal, Sefer HaKlalim, Klalim Rishonim, 248)
