לזכות ר' יוסף עזרא בן אסתר לברכה והצלחה הוא וכל בני ביתו!
It is impossible to escape from the anguish and
suffering of Ikvesa D'mishecha [footsteps of Moshiach – pre-Moshiach times]
without anticipating the salvation [ציפייה לישועה].
By thinking about and hoping for the imminent redemption we can actually shine
the light of that period upon our present time with all of its trials and
travails.
There are two additional benefits we receive
from waiting anxiously for our salvation.
1] It enables us to accept all of our suffering
with love. Knowing that this is all temporary is a very potent way to enable us
to reframe our suffering into a more positive upbeat experience.
2] It lessens and can even prevent the pain and
suffering. It crowns us with beauty, strength and glory, empowering us to
weather all of the storms with significantly less anguish.
