ANTICIPATION is a series featuring 120 segments – on the Twelfth Principle of our Jewish Faith: Belief in and Awaiting the Coming of The Messiah (Moshiach). We draw on a wide range of classic and contemporary commentaries to clearly address the burning issue of passive Waiting vs active Anticipation!

Episode Fifty, ‘AWAITING DIFFERENCE – Part Two’ takes the novel understanding of the famous Faith Maxim on Moshiach: although He tarries “I will continue to Await” [His Coming] each day…” into a groundbreaking fresh field of discovery.
In this second segment we will learn just how powerful taking this path of greatest resistance can be. The newfound appreciation should inspire us all to try harder to actively “Await” — despite the obvious challenges of maintaining an unnatural emotion.
Culled from the same manuscript as the previous Episode — from which several classic (and neo classic) sources were creatively collated to prove how impactful “hopeful yearning” for Moshiach can be, here, the envelope is pushed much further.
This Episode reaches deep into a related, while unique Zoharic teaching that is significantly, and profoundly illuminated in Chasidic Teachings. The result is the emergence of a stunning new picture of perfection attained through perspiration!
Comprising the Fiftieth segment in our ongoing study series on The Geula, our final Redemption referred to as the Coming of Moshiach (Messiah), this class is dedicated l’zechut a full Refuah and long life for Chaim Mordechai ben Raizel.
