Why should we want, hope and pray for the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem with its emphasis on sacrificial rites? Isn't this an anachronistic belief?

Why did G-d let the Holocaust happen and let all of those innocent people die? Where was he for the 5 or 6 million people who died, and why does he let people like hitler torment and oppress us?

 Why should we want a dictatorial monarchy in the 21st century and regard that as utopia?

Why do we have to believe in a human Messiah? What is wrong with
simply believing in a Messianic age when the world will be a perfect
G-dly world? Why can't we have a relationship with G-d without the
intervention of a human being?

Why do Jews not accept Jesus as a god or a messiah? Missionaries say that JC is both the son of G-d and the long-awaited Messiah. Here's why Jews reject both claims.

In what has become one of his most celebrated and well‑known works, Maimonides, in his commentary on the Mishnah, compiles what he refers to as the Shloshah‑Asar Ikkarim, the Thirteen Articles of Faith, compiled from Judaism's 613 commandments found in the Torah. The Thirteen Articles of Jewish faith are as follows:

Moshiach is an incredible power of kedusha which will be unleashed in
this world, and there is no doubt that the Satan and the powers of
klipah would combat anything which would lead to the birth of Moshiach.
Hashem, therefore, "hid" the conception of Moshiach in disrespectful
circumstances where even the Satan wouldn't think to look.

Here's one answer: According to tradition Elijah participates at every Jewish boy's circumcision. Since Elijah's
purpose is to come and tell everyone their lineage, which tribe they
are from etc. Who better to do this job than someone who was at the
circumcision of every jewish child and therefore knows everyone’s exact
lineage? But there's more to it.

What I've read here about Moshiach excites me, but I'd be happier to get a scaled-down version of Moshiach: Someone who will solve the world's problems, but leave me alone to continue living life as I do today

Will there still be accidental murders? Doesn't it say that there will be more death when Moshiach comes?

The Jews have survived 2,000 years in exile without Moshiach, why can't we continue another 2,000 years without him?

If Moshiach's coming is imminent, why should we do mitzvot now when it takes so much effort?

By asserting the imminence of Moshiach's coming, we are setting ourselves up for a big fall. Isn't it dangerous to raise people's hopes and expectations, which might lead to Disillusionment?

What right do we have to demand Moshiach? Isn't it presumptuous and blasphemous to tell G-d what to do?

 [Q&A] Sometimes I shudder at the thought of Moshiach and the Day of Judgment that is mentioned in the bible. Who wants to be held up to that type of scrutiny by a judge who cannot be fooled?

As a no longer catholic, I wonder how the Messiah can come as long as the pagans are tolerated in Israel?
|

Is the modern-day State of Israel the realization of the Biblical prophecies concerning the Messianinic Redemption?
|
|
|
Why do you think that the Messiah's arrival is imminent, after all most Jews today do not observe Judaism?

Why do we always refer to Moshiach a man? Why can a woman not be the Moshiach who will usher in the new era of peace and harmony? Are women considered to be inferior to men?
