The Perfect Match: Trusting Hashem's Shidduch Timeline
What Else Should We Be Doing
There have been many times over the generations that were considered to be auspicious for Mashiach to come. Whether or not Mashiach actually comes depends on us. Now is definitely one of those times. On Succot, we read the Haftarah of the War of Gog U’Magog and the Tur brings from Rav Hai Gaon, that it’s because that war will start on Succot and תחיית המתים will be on Pesach.
Rabbi Menashe Reisman quoted the Gemara which tells us that Shemini Aseret is called Succot regarding bringing the makeup korban for someone who missed it at the beginning of Succot. Hashem shook up the world on the last day of Succot and we are still in the middle of it. It says in Zachariah ( perek יד ) that a day will come when all the nations of the world will come to Israel for war. May Hashem protect us.
The Chafetz Chaim wrote, when someone knows that another person is angry at him, it hurts that person a lot. Being a peacemaker is a tremendous chessed. Taking away negative feelings and allowing people to move on happily is a great form of chessed. Giving someone chizuk and taking away anxious feelings from his heart is also a great chessed. Praying for someone is a great chessed. We can help so much from wherever we are, with heartfelt prayers on behalf of others.
At this time of difficulty, people from all circles are uniting in a common cause. We need unity for Mashiach to come. Maybe if we will accept upon ourselves to continue loving and helping others, who don't share the same philosophies as us, beyond this time, that would be a tremendous zechut.
May we experience the great light of Mashiach B’Karov, Amen!!
