Daily Thought

The present state of the world is called "gola". The state of the world as it will soon be is called "geula". The two words are exactly the same, except that “geula” has the letter "alef" inserted in the middle. “Alef” means “master”. It also means “one”.

To make gola into geula, we only need reveal the alef— the One Master of the Universe who is hidden within the artifacts of our present world.

Rabbi Tzvi Freeman   
Image Is it true that Moshiach shall suddenly appear on a main street in Jerusalem, a poor old man with a wild but angelic look, spewing forth wisdom and declaring the time of redemption has arrived? If so, why will they not lock him up? Is it true that he shall be announced on all the media worldwide at 6 pm, along with offers for free El Al tickets? If so, who will finance this?

Rabbi Yisroel Rubin   
Isn't the "Messiah" a Christian idea? How important is Moshiach to Judaism? Isn't belief in Moshiach an escape from reality? Isn't "Messiah" just a euphemism for a utopian peace on earth? Why do we eagerly anticipate Moshiach? Will our world change drastically?
