| English: Chaim Kanievsky (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, who is a pillar of the Jewish community, leading authority in mainstream Ultra-Orthodox Judaism and known for his authoritative books on Torah law, has been giving clear and unequivocal messages recently
that the coming of the Messiah is imminent. He is urging Jews to make
Aliyah as soon as possible. Aliyah, the Hebrew verb for “going up”,
refers to immigrating to Israel, which is seen as higher spiritual
action that can help herald in the coming of the Messiah.
After a lifetime of immersing himself in classical Jewish texts, Rabbi Kanievsky’s study partner informed various media sites that the Rabbi is talking about the messiah “all the time.” Since last summer’s war in Gaza, the Rabbi has been spreading this message of imminent return. In one instance, Rabbi Kanievsky instructed a Jew from Argentina who asked for a blessing that he should “gather your family and come to Israel. Otherwise, there won’t be enough room for you on the airplanes.”
