Great Accomplishments: Recognizing Divine Involvement
The Last Tisha B’Av
Every Erev Tisha B'Av, Rabbi Shalom Tavi would tell his family, "B'ezrat Hashem, this is going to be the last Tisha B'Av." He would say those words with a true longing for the Geula.
The Samak writes, to believe in the coming of the Mashiach is a מצוות עשה מן התורה – it is an obligation from the Torah for every single Jew to believe. The Rambam says it is one of our 13 Principles of Faith that every Jew is required to believe. The Gemara tells us, one of the first questions a person will be asked after 120 is Did you anticipate the coming of the Mashiach?
When Mashiach comes, there will be no more sickness, no one in the hospital, nobody suffering from pain, everyone will be strong and healthy. There will be no more fighting, we will have world peace, no more terrorists, no shootings, no antisemitism, no fear, even the animals will be at peace with each other. Everyone will live in complete tranquility and happiness, everyone will have an abundance of everything they could possibly need. All of the secrets of Torah will become revealed, we will understand more about Hashem. And those who have passed on will once again come back to life and live in this world as they did before, reunited with their families.
This is just a tiny glimpse into what will take place after Mashiach comes. We need to learn more about it on our own, but as far as now is concerned, we are not only to believe that Mashiach will come, but we are also to anticipate it as well.
