There are two things that can be said about this world we live in. Either it's a hotchpotch of objects and events going nowhere in particular. Or else there's a plan -- a method buried somewhere in all the madness, a goal towards which all this is headed.
Four thousand years ago, Judaism embraced the latter option and proceeded to convince the rest of the world of this truth. That the Creator has a plan, and that life has purpose. That all this is leading somewhere -- somewhere good.

Moshiach or Mashiach is the phrase “Messiah” comes from—it’s a Hebrew word meaning “the anointed one.” Moshiach is a leader who will redeem mankind from meaninglessness, and teach the purpose of life to the universe.
When a CNN cameraman held a video camera to the Lubavitcher Rebbe and asked if the Rebbe has a message for the world, the Rebbe said (then, as he did on numerous other occasions):
"Moshiach is ready to come now, we all must only do something additional in the realm of goodness and kindness… if we do a little more Moshiach will come immediately".
You can make a difference!
Good is like water collecting in a cup—drop by drop, deed by deed. When the cup is full, it overflows its sides. When we fill this world with enough good, G-d sends Moshiach. G-d gave mankind tools for good—the Torah for Jews, and the Noahide Code for non-Jews. Whatever your spiritual configuration, G-d is waiting for your move—our move. Let’s work together to bring Moshiach, now. Let’s do good.
