Can I ask a real serious question, I know there are tons of ppl on this website, but I’m just curious. I know I know I’m a very sensitive person, but does anyone right now feel the Moshiach is coming any second now, because my feeling is going very strongly right now.. it’s literally bursting..

I'm wondering if they will strike. But the threat of it brings me somehow closer to Tisha b'Av. It makes me realize more deeply that we are still part of the very same story going on. All we are going through today as a nation is still connected to the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash and the expulsion of the Jews from EY. I hope that the present scenario is not just the continuation of the past but also the treshold to ge'ulah.


So... I want another word... I'll still say it. Beautiful. Thank you.

Yes, it feels like an anticipation of sorts. Waiting for Hashem to show openly that He is on Am Yisroel's side and performing open nissim for us, to finally feel that we are His.

I don't feel respectful to greet mashiach. I'd love to be freshly showered, fresh wig, nice clothes...


We'll all make each others look and feel beautiful in a jiffy. You'll be ready in no time! And Mazel Tov!

It was pretty openly before Pesach.

Yes I feel it so strongly. And I am not the “type”. I’ve felt it since October 7th like I’ve never felt it before. I feel like I finally am able to relate to ani maamin-I feel the anticipation every day but I know I’ll never lose hope, every single day that passes.

I admire your enthusiasm. But there have been thousands of times in history that people thought moshiach was imminently coming.

They've been wrong every time.

I basically feel permanently undeserving of Mashiach, but today I ended up taking an out of town visitor (a friend of my parents who was in town for a routine cancer treatment but found himself in sudden and excruciating pain) to the hospital and spending 8 hours in the ER with him. I pushed his wheelchair from one floor to the other, helped him navigate out-of-state insurance issues, went to the office of medical records… I just got back, less than an hour before the fast begins.

His wife on the other side of the country was in tears with both worry and gratitude, and all I could think was how BH I hadn’t felt resentful or upset the entire time.
It’s like Hashem had given me a chance to do a mitzvah with a full heart and at least I got this one thing right.

May we see yeshuos and nechamos soon!
