LIVING WITH MOSHIACH #2510

In memory of Rabbi Levi Yitzchok ben R' Zalman Yuda Deitsch OBM

Today, as we stand at the threshold of the ultimate redemption, it is once again the woman whose song is the most poignant, whose tambourine is the most hopeful, whose dance is the most joyous. Today, as then, the redemption will be realized "in the merit of righteous women." (Talmud, Sotah 11b) Today, as then, the woman's yearning for Moshiach - a yearning which runs deeper than that of the man, and inspires and uplifts it-forms the dominant strain in the melody of redemption.
