Ebb & Flow with Solomon EzraThe Messiah will come when we Least Expect itIn honor of completing a full year studying at Hadar HaTorah yeshiva, I gave a class on meditation, Davenen (prayer), the teaching of our Sages (Gemara Sanhedrin 97a), that, “Moshiach will come B’hesech hadaas” (lit. when we aren’t expecting him), and then guided a meditation.
•
Additionally, this week’s Torah portion is Vayeitze, which was the portion of my bar mitzvah 14 years ago.
•
May we internalize and open our eyes to being in Jerusalem with Moshiach in a way better than we can imagine.
