Sam your post reminded me of the recent chof ches Nisan asifa/ farbrengen. All the farbrengens I’ve attended have been led by Chabad people, and this time the speaker list included people who were clearly not Chava as well. I was a bit skeptical but also curious and I listened and I was blown away. The best speaker with the most powerful message for me on the topic of moshiach (since most of the others weren’t new) was Charlie Harari. He gave a mashal with a very powerful punch for the nimshal but the point was are we gonna allow ourselves to be content with the yetzer hara offering us security and a plane ticket to EY, and some money?
We’re so close! But do we want a better golus or actual geula? The others were really amazing as well but I found his presentation had a punch to it. Really great
