Reply To: The final word on Moshiach from the meisim (hopefully!)

@querty613 I indulged you. I emailed the mechaber. He said being all of Chazal say Moshiach can come from the living or meisim, but it was a sofek to the amorayim if in actuality Moshiach will come from the living or meisim. Therefore it’s not shayach b’metzius for a Rishon, acharon or posek halacha to be machria davka only from the living or davka from the meisim. Similar to zachu or loi zachu. All Chazal agree it could be either one. Which one b’poel. We don’t know….

Therefore it’s not possible and even am aratzus to say someone poskened one way or another….
He said you can download another Kuntres from his website shmoishelmoshiach dot com where he wrote at length about that subject as it relates to the Rambam.

So again back to the yotzi min hklal of “kol hasam kozev”

Provide the mkor by asking your rabbi or rabbis or publicly apologize.

Since you are talking about the chofetz chaim it’s the time of year to remind that he says those who are not able to keep pas yisroel should be makpid during the aseres yemai teshuva. Unless of course you have another posek you follow…..
