Wow, what a thread. I didn’t read every post but there are some hilarious ones and others interesting.
I only want to comment on the Moshiach discussion.
If everything wonderful in the begins to unfold when he comes…. I’m aware if Shmuel’s dictum,but he he agrees that at a point the end of travails, eventual end of sickness, joy, everlasting geulah, etc…. then why in the world should I care who Moshiach is ? Let him be your rebbe, Yankel’s rov, the dayen of Petchetch…. who cares ?? Who even says he has to be a rov/ rebbe? How about Reb Fishele Feish my neighbor who is rumored to prahve Chatzos every night even though he’s no klei kodesh but punches a clock at the cheese factory M-F..
Moshiach is not the end game, it’the beginning of the end og galus and hisgalus Eloikus… Moshiach is a messenger not an Avoda Zarah…
R’ Avrohom, the Gra’s son on his peirush on Tehillim writes that’ll be Eliyahu Hanava that’ll do the kibutz… Radak in Navi writes something similar.
I don’t care if he comes from the dead or living, if he wears a spuddik or kipa srugah, if he eats veggie soup on Shabbas, Sephardi, Ashkenaz, I don’t care…..
Just come already.
