Reply To: Exciting Facts that we’ll have by Geula

Motcha, the point of my previous post is to emphasize that this is totally the wrong attitude. The Rebbe educated us about moshiach in a way of how exciting it is, how every Jew will be included, how it s the best thing for us bgashmius uvruchnius etc. Learning about moshiach and geula from this angle helps us to be truly excited and anticipate his coming.

Motchas depiction is very negative. One who thinks of the geula in this way will definitely find it hard to look forward to Moshiach’s coming. Just like we wouldn’t speak to a kalla in a realistic but negative way about her upcoming marriage etc, so too with geula.

That being said, the Frierdiker Rebbe referred to the Holocaust as chevlai moshiach, so hopefully we’re past that already and can just look towards the positives. And even if there would be a price to pay, if we know all the particles it outweighs the negatives, and we want moshiach nonetheless….
