Reply To: Mourning During the 3 Weeks, Do we Really Mean it?

I was told by my Rosh Yeshivah that really a person shouldn’t want Moshiach for himself as that would make him not able to be mekayem mitvos anymore or be able to get schar for limud hatorah.

Instead a person should want moshiach because the klal needs it and that as long as we are in galus the shechinah is suffering.

So even someone who is living comfortably and enjoyably can still want moshiach for the sake of the shechinah and klal yisroel.
