    "Proof of Claim" Episode #62 of "ANTICIPATION"

    Episode Sixty-Two 'PROOF OF CLAIM' is the third and final segment of a mini-series. Over the past two Episodes, a compelling case was made for the idea that -- beyond established Torah norms of anticipatory yearning -- today, an active and assertive ask for Moshiach's arrival is in high order. We also clarified what changed, as in, why it may not have been like this previously. In this concluding Episode, we present immutable evidence culled from established past precedent to prove that the novelly woven tapestry fusing a Halacha from the Laws of Claims with the need to ask Hashem for Moshiach isn't that novel after all. While the thesis weaves a fresh fabric of time-honoured legal threads of Halacha and Aggadah, one cannot authentically argue that, for all its creative elegance, the arguments made don't fully wrap around the well-worn typical Torah approach. More than anything else, it represents putting into practice the pleading for the restoration of the Beit HaMikdash and Davidic sovereignty and Geula/final Redemption that is already richly documented. Here, the thesis is further reinforced in two-fold fashion, as loose ends of the argument are stitched together producing durable proof for The Rebbe's seemingly novel approach about the time for a more assertive approach having arrived. This Episode deftly completes the picture by sewing up the remaining loose ends -- and wrapping it all together. Emphasizing and underscoring just what is at stake become the final stiches to finish the embroidery. The only conclusion we can come to is the critical need for us all storm the Heavens, pleading with Hashem and laying claim to Moshiach Now! This Episode, comprising the sixty second segment in our ongoing study series on The Geula (final Redemption) referred to as the Coming of Moshiach (Messiah), concludes a three-part miniseries on making claims and demands for the Geula.

    "Why 'Lay Claim' Now?" Episode #61 of "ANTICIPATION"

    Episode Sixty-One 'WHY 'LAY CLAIM' NOW?' is the second segment of a mini-series. Having previously made the case that -- beyond anticipatory yearning for Moshiach's arrival -- we must actively ask for Redemption, we move on to troubleshoot to defend and cement the logic of the thesis; finally answering the question of "why now"?! In Episode 60, LAYING CLAIM we already presented a carefully stitched quilt tapestry fusing a Halacha from the Laws of Claims with the need to ask Hashem for Moshiach. Yet, while it was solidly sewn of legal threads, one can seemingly argue that, for all its homiletic elegance, the fabric of the argument doesn't sufficiently cover the technicalities and cannot be applied in practice insofar as the Geula/final Redemption is concerned. Here, the thesis is further reinforced, and loose ends of the argument are stitched together producing durable proof of The Rebbe's novel approach, including his assurance the time for a more assertive approach had arrived. Learn this second part of the lesson, will further demonstrate the critical need for us all storm the Heavens, pleading with Hashem and Laying Claim to Geula Now! This Episode comprises the Sixty First segment in our ongoing study series on The Geula, our final Redemption referred to as the Coming of Moshiach (Messiah).

    "Laying Claim" is Episode #60 of "ANTICIPATION"

    Episode Sixty 'LAYING CLAIM' is the opening segment of a new mini- series. Here we make the case that -- in addition to, and beyond the eager anticipation or yearning we might feel for Moshiach's arrival -- we are required to request the Redemption. Founded on a legal precedent, established as binding Halacha in the Laws of Claims, we will focus on the requirement to lay claim to get what's rightfully yours. The Rebbe elegantly and creatively draws a parallel to illustrate our need to ask Hashem to finally end the exile and bring us home. Although firmly rooted in the fertile soil classic Torah teachings, here a new branch extends from the original trunk, producing fresh foliage of fascinating novelty -- with extremely important and practical implications. Once you learn this lesson, asking G-d for Geula (Redemption from Exile by Moshiach) and even making demands of Hashem will be taken to the next level! This Episode comprises the Sixtieth segment in our ongoing study series on The Geula, our final Redemption referred to as the Coming of Moshiach (Messiah).

    "Needing Impact" is Episode #58 of "ANTICIPATION"

    'NEEDING IMPACT' deepens and expands the meaning of our [already] developed thesis regarding the profound impact heartfelt, sincere demands of Hashem make. In the preceding "Impact" segment a range of rabbinic teachings about Tzadikim's Tefilla, further emphasized some of the ideas we had already begun to spell out. In this new Episode, we return to the concept of Prayer, by definition. By virtue of thoughtful analysis, we will lead to redefine how we view the way we ask G-d for Geula (Redemption from Exile by Moshiach). This will ultimately position us to redefine how we view our personal needs, and yearning for Moshiach's arrival altogether! This Episode comprises the Fifty-Eighth segment in our ongoing study series on The Geula, our final Redemption referred to as the Coming of Moshiach (Messiah).

    "Initiating Impact" is Episode #59 of "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).

    "Entreating Impact" is Episode #57 of "ANTICIPATION"

    'ENTREATING IMPACT' adds a new dimension to the previously developed thesis about the impact we can have when we make sincere demands of Hashem. In the previous two Episode, a biblical narrative is recast as a foundation basis for the concept that heartfelt prayer can change destiny. An idea that is further emphasized by both the syntax and repetitious nature of our daily Prayers. In this third Episode on the Power of Prayer, we are introduced to a range of rabbinic teachings that underscore the incredible impact prayerful entreaty can have of G-d. This serves to further underscore the ideas we've already begun to articulate about the importance of demanding redemption from Hashem, and further debunks the supposition that we leave Geula to G-d, and instead focus on the pursuit of personal spiritual success, self-actualization, and religious fulfilment! This Episode comprises the Fifty-Seventh segment in our ongoing study series on The Geula, our final Redemption referred to as the Coming of Moshiach (Messiah).

    "Sustaining Impact" is Episode #56 of "ANTICIPATION"

    'SUSTAINING IMPACT' continues to develop the special thesis about the impact we can have when we make sincere demands of Hashem. In our previous Episode, a historic biblical event sets a precedent, highlighting a Torah truism about the powerful possibilities of righteous requests and heartfelt prayers, in general, and regarding the coming of Moshiach in particular. In this new Episode the syntax as well as the repetitious nature of our daily Prayers emphasize the veracity and authenticity of this lesson lifted from a second chance - granted by G-d - in antiquity. This all, despite the great care we are told to take in keeping our Davening and prayerful entreaty concise, should serve to further energize our Tefillot for the Geula, speedily and in our days, Amen! This Episode comprises the Fifty-Sixth segment in our ongoing study series on The Geula, our final Redemption referred to as the Coming of Moshiach (Messiah).

    "Demanding Impact" is Episode #55 of "ANTICIPATION"

    DEMANDING IMPACT' reaches deep into the early history of our Peoplehood, drawing an instructive parallel for us about the potential impact we can make by virtue of a sincere demand for the coming of Moshiach in our time. In rhetorically questioning his own approach to the subject, the Rebbe presents past precedent to make a profound point about the possibilities we each possess today. Streams of unique Torah teachings are channeled to affect a sea-change in our understanding of what is actually expected of us. What flows forth is a fresh appreciation of the dynamic power of our prayers, and the impact Demanding Deliverance can have. This new incredible rumination is saturated with a real time lesson about a second chance that spiritually uplift and pragmatically encouraging at once. This is a lesson that should inject newfound zeal and energy into our Tefillot, and especially the regular requests for Redemption we make daily in our Davening. This Episode comprises the Fifty-Fifth segment in our ongoing study series on The Geula, our final Redemption referred to as the Coming of Moshiach (Messiah).
