WARNING: This episode contains controversial material, listener discretion is advised. Welcome to the 9th and final installment of Messy-nism, the Jewish view of Moshiach. This week we cover Zionism and the Messianic vision of Rav Kook as well as the Lubavitcher Rebbi and the revival of the fervor for bringing Moshiach at the end of the 20th century. We take a look at some Messianic claimants in the 21st century including the Yanuka and conclude with an attempt at understanding the value and need for a Messiah in Judaism overall. Thank you for joining us.
