LIVING WITH MOSHIACH #2517

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

In Genesis 1:2 we read: "And the spirit of G-d hovered above the waters." Midrash Rabba explains that this refers to the soul of Moshiach. In fact, the Hebrew words in the verse "and the spirit of G-d hovered - V'ruach Elokim m'rachefet" have the same numerical value as the words, "This is the soul of Moshiach - Zeh haya rucho shel Melech HaMoshiach."
