About Me
- Name: yaak
- Location: Physically, Chicago, but Libi BaMizrah
Who is "yaak"? I'm a half-Sepharadi, half-Ashkenazi, Haredi Zionist. I hope that clears it all up. :-) I went to a Haredi elementary school, a mixed Haredi/modern high school, Haredi Yeshiva in Israel, and back to a mixed Yeshiva after that. I have a masters degree in computer science and Semicha. BA"H Mash'ala, I'm married to a wonderful wife with 6 great children. Hoping to meet each one of my readers in Yerushalayim when we are Olim LeRegel there very soon...

On October 23, 2017, Menachem Robinson z”l, wrote the following:
>There were Rabbis during World War 2 who said that after 10 Shemitah cycles Moshiach would come. With the war ending in 5705, 1945, the 10 cycles or 70 years brought us to 5775, which was totally consistent with Moshiach being introduced in 5776 after the last Shemitah cycle…
He concludes:
It even makes more sense to talk about ten 7 year cycles or 70 years, not after WW2 but the establishment of the State of Israel. 5708 to 5778 is much more believable.
Rav Eliyahu Kramer says that there are 70 words in chapter 20 of Tehillim corresponding to the 70 years of the suffering the Jews will experience before Moshiach reveals himself.
Rabbi Yisroel Moshe Sorotzkin writes:
The Erev Rav in Eretz Yisrael is an expression of Chevlei Mashiach. The Vilna Gaon, based on the Zohar, teaches that the period of Chevlei Mashiach will last for seventy years. As the State was established about seventy years ago, it follows that the Erev Rav are nearing the “end of their lease” (The End Illuminated, page 56). After Chevlei Mashiach, there will be the time of the actual Leidas HaMashiach, the moment of Mashiach’s birth. It would seem from the Zohar that this can take up to another two years. The Zohar and the Gaon say that this is actually the basis for the opinion that Chevlei Mashiach will take seventy-two years and not seventy… [(The End Illuminated, page 182). See also Are you ready by Rabbi Alon Anava, page 42].
Menachem Robinson z”l pointed out that 5708 to 5778 is 70 years.
5779 to 5780 is 2 years like Zohar and the Gaon write!
5781 – this year – appears to be the year in which we will witness that actual “birth” or revelation of Mashiach!
The Medrash gives a vivid description of how Klal Yisrael and the world around us, will look in the last year before Moshiach:
The Medrash gives a vivid description of how Klal Yisrael and the world around us, will look in the last year before Moshiach:
A few lines later, the Medrash writes:
Why does the pasuk in Malachi say פִתְאֹם יָבוֹא אֶל־הֵיכָלוֹ - that Mashiach “will come SUDDENLY to his palace”? Klal Yisrael, in that generation, will say, "Is it possible that we are seeing the world functioning as it always has, and yet the Geulah will come this year?” But they do not know that Mashiach will come suddenly (ibid. page 29)
Our generation can relate to פִתְאֹם יָבוֹא אֶל־הֵיכָלוֹ. On December 20, 2017, Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin was suddenly released from prison!
Real News, it was so lovely to read your words that Rabbi Robinson, z'l write and the elaboration of the midrash.
I do miss gleaning Torah from the rabbi.
May we experience Moshiach's arrival speedily and soon!
Thank you!
Yes! Echoing same sentiments! Nice to hear the words of Rav Robinson Z"L. Always looked forward to his posts.
Also - have read the entire book End Illuminated and gained quite a bit from it.
You're welcome H! I'm still in the middle of the book.
