Look at the world around you, feel the season, and see how every single tree that produces fruit only caries it for a season until it falls off to the ground. And then you realize that there's one tree that says "I'm a miracle. I'm an Esrog, and I can weather any season. And what doesn't kill me makes me stronger." Then you realize that the Jew is that tree. We weathered so many storms, so many generations, and we just get stronger. And then you go even deeper, and you realize "Wow, Hashem, I'm that Esrog! Because in my life I've gone through many seasons too, and that was also only here to make me stronger." That – says the Ishbitzer – is the secret of taking your Esrog, and realizing that Hashem is always here for you, and any difficulty is only here to improve you, to make you more connected to Hashem… Today.
