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!

The Fifty Ninth Episode, aptly entitled ‘INITIATING IMPACT’ is the sixth and concluding segment of our “Impact” mini-series — the thesis about the importance and power of heartfelt pleading for redemption drawn from the dramatic biblical narrative of Pesach Sheni’s origin.
In the final treatment of the subject, we will focus on the unique potency of possessed by initiation rather than responsivity, in the dynamic of our relationship with Hashem.
Shabbat’s serenity is self-generated, and even the scheduling of our calendar and its’ holidays is reactionary and born of dependency. The “Second Passover,” however, stands out in its independence and by virtue of Israel’s initiation.
This serves as the climatic stroke in redefinition of how we see asking G-d for Geula (Redemption from Exile by Moshiach) and should fully enable us to appreciate the power we have been given to make demands of Hashem and thereby make a world of difference.
This Episode comprises the Fifty-Ninth segment in our ongoing study series on The Geula, our final Redemption referred to as the Coming of Moshiach (Messiah).
