LIVING WITH MOSHIACH #2526

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

Concerning Moshiach, Isaiah prophecizes, "With equity shall he rebuke the meek of the earth."(Isaiah 11:4) A personal obligation rests upon every individual Jew to arouse his fellow to the practice of good deeds. When instead a person adopts an attitude of humility and argues, "Who am I to arouse my fellow? What kind of a spokesman am I?" - he deserves to be sternly rebuked. These "meek of the earth" will be rebuked by Moshiach, though here too he will find extenuating circumstances.
