One of the questions we are asked when we get to shamayim is tzipisa liyeshuah. One way to fulfill this is to hear Mr. Roy Neuberger’s thoughts on the topic every week. Enjoy!

The Lubavitcher Rebbe asked why the Rambam writes that the tenth parah will be prepared by “מלך המשיח מהרה יגלה אמן כן יהי רצון” – why does the Rambam include a tefilla for Moshiach in his halacha sefer? Furthermore: The Rambam does not include this tefilla in the halachos that fully discuss Moshiach (הלכות מלכים ומלחמותיהם ומלך המשיח – פי”א-יב)!
The Rebbe answers that with this the Rambam is also teaching us a halacha:
The obligation to yearn for Moshiach is so strong, that even when mentioning Moshiach derech agav (such as in hilchos parah adumah), it should arouse one to daven and beg for Moshiach to come speedily.
מהרה יגלה אמן כן יהי רצון – Moshiach now!
