Redemption timing

The Rebbe’s strong assertion is that the Redemption will occur instantly: “the codifiers of Jewish law have already acknowledged that the true and complete Redemption via Moshiach Tzidkeinu needs to be

instantaneous (דימו ףקת), and it will indeed occur that way in actuality...the

beginning of the Redemption and its completion come immediately,

‘without the delay of the blink of an eye’.”

According to the Rebbe there is no truth to the popular misconception that the Geulah is a gradually unfolding process, because “Those who say that the Geulah of Israel will come in a natural way and slowly...they are hiding from the reality and also the past…that in the blink of an eye the army of Hashem went out from Egypt...carried on wings of eagles...in this way will come the transformation of the entire Creation…”

Quadruple depiction

This is Anshie Kogan's  “large scale quadruple depiction of the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson,” an “eye-catching work … purchased for $3,000 (Lot 393).”  The painting is presently on display at The Prime Grill Restaurant in Manhattan.

IN CASE OF MOSHIACH BREAK GLASS

Anshie Kagan's  sculpture, “IN CASE OF MOSHIACH BREAK GLASS,” scheduled to be auctioned December 16 at Kestenbaum & Company. Anshie  is a young Boston-born Orthodox Jewish artist currently residing in Brooklyn who attended Lakewood Cheder, Mesivta Pe’er Hatorah and Manhattan’s Fashion Institute of Technology.  He renders a unique take on a traditional principle of faith: a sculpture – a wooden box 36” x 12” x 12”, painted red, with a classic metal hammer on a chain attached and a glass front with the words: IN CASE OF MOSHIACH BREAK GLASS.  Behind the glass is a

full-sized shofar, because, says Anshie, “Moshiach will use a shofar to announce his arrival.”

The piece screams for attention, much like the old-style fire alarm boxes we used to see on street corners.

Getting close

Everything that's happening in the world is about the arrival of Moshiach and everything that's happening correlates directly to what the Jewish people,  what we are doing. We are not spectators we are in it. Our personal Avoda in Torah and Mitzvos, in inyonei Geula and Moshiach specifically is what makes all the difference. So as much as possible let's orient ourselves to inyonei Torah about Geula uMoshiach the derech hayashora to see the Gilui of Moshiach Ben Dovid without any more of this ever painful delay.
