The munkatcher rebbe traveled far and wide just to meet the saba kadisha, rav alefandria, in eretz yisroel. A talmid of the munkatcher was able to catch the first bit of their conversation, before he was discovered and sent away. The munkatcher asked the saba kadisha, when will moshiach come? He answered, Hinei hu achar koslainu, he is on the other side of our wall. The munkatcher asked, why then is he not here? To which the saba jadisha answered, “because of the reshoim.” In his unbelievable humility, the munkatcher asked, “am I one of them?”
The reshoim are holding back the geulah. Far from the fantasies of the religious zionists, that the state facilitates the geulah, it and its leaders are actively preventing it .
