We uncover the secret of the thirteenth aspect. There is a higher aspect of it, which is represented by Yaacov, and a lower aspect, as it is revealed in the lower realms, which is represented by Yosef. We explore how this applies to the tribes and the leap year, why it is necessary, and what this means for the Moshiach ben Yosef process. We also explore why it is impossible to guess the date when Moshiach will reveal himself.

What do we mean when we ask for Moshiach to come quickly? It seems to have taken quite a long time. What is the sense of urgency that we see around us in those who are looking for Moshiach to come? Why is the advent of Moshiach specifically through a process? When does it become fast? What is the laughter of Moshiach? Why does Moshiach ben Yosef come to a generation which is completely in a negative state? We explore all these questions, and more.

We discuss the process of Nesirah, the painful process of separation that seems to be taking place in the world right now. We discuss why MBY must die and how he eludes death. We also talk about the power of complete humility, acceptance and surrender to Hashem, which are the reason for the difficulties - how He gets us to choose Him. We also explore the next period of time that we are in - from Shavuos until the ninth of Av.

We also look deeply into a gemara in Sotah that hints to what will happen in the war of Gog Umagog, which is a spiritual battle fought between the people of Israel and all the nations of the world.

The true Jewish understanding of Isaiah 53 - the suffering of the Jewish people and Moshiach. We learn the essential concept of hanhagas hayichud - Hashem dealing with the world in a way that guarantees that His good will be given, by altering the terms of rectifying the problem of receiving the Light by earning it. We also see the interplay between yichud and mishpat - how they work hand in hand. We learn the concept of the Jewish people as the chosen nation, as well as the role of the...

We also explore the concept of Rebbe Akiva as Moshiach ben Yosef. Also discussed is the Torah of Moshiach ben Yosef, and his job of bringing us to a true connection with our fellow man, devoid of jealousy and competition, filled with the love that is a prerequisite for our relationship with Hashem.

In this podcast we continue to explore the Jewish nation's role in bringing the ultimate redemption of Mankind. We accompany them in their journey through the exile and understand how their mission is completed through their observance of the commandments, through repentance, or Heaven forbid, through difficulties. This theme plays itself out quite clearly in the current exile in the Western/Christian world, which has replaced Rome, the descendant of Esav. We also see clearly how whenever the...

We continue on our scenic journey by starting with an understanding of the Jewish concept of God's oneness. This is fundamental to a conversation of Moshiach, because we see that the verse speaks of the days of Moshiach by saying, 'On that day God will be One and His name will be One. This is the goal of the entire process. Then we speak of the changing role of the Satan and the jobs of Moshiach ben Yosef and Moshiach ben Dovid, as well as the Jewish people's mission to reclaim the sparks of...

This episode starts us on our journey into the depths of Jewish tradition to begin to understand where the concept of Moshiach begins. In order to understand the concept of Moshiach, which is the end of times, we must begin at the beginning of time, with the first man, Adam. He is the first one our sages identify with the concept of Moshiach, and thus we must explore his mission and where he failed.
