I've come a Long way, baby!

20 years ago, if you asked me if I believed in the coming of Moshiach (the Massiah) i'd have said yes of course! when? maybe my grandchildren's time.

Today, well, I believe in the coming of Moshiach now. Oh my goodness, when we went to make changes to our lives, to do more mitzvot- wow, i couldn't have predicted the times. I couldn't.

Then the dreams came. Lots of them. All having to do with the Geula... huh? I am most certainly not a chabbadnick- i didn't understand it at leat. But today, I believe that we are at the dawn of redemption. I take on more and more mitzvot. My Husband sets time each day to learn, and my eldest is in yeshivah as I am writing.

Wow. The thought that I will see the Beit Hamikdosh and the Moshiach- that is completely mindblowing.

So we are a nation who will be redeemed, but when? How? from what I hear- soon, and who knows how? Just do teshuvah, mitzvot, give tzedakah, observe the shabbat, observe kashrut.

This is what the rabbis are saying. Geula is coming, be steadfast and pray, look to Hashem and pray. Be strong. Chazak, chazak, v'nitchazek. Teshuva. Tzedakah. Tefilla.
