The Suffering of Mashiach Ben Yosef - Part 1

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Tonight I I'd like to give a share on on a very on a topic actually that's not spoken very often about. Uh you know, over the years people have asked me about Moshiach ben Yosef. You know, who is he in the sense of not his identity, but what about him? He's obviously a an individual that I've spoken extensively and Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai also speaks extensively uh about the Moshiach ben Yosef. Uh you know, and there are many fascinating aspects of him. I mean, over the years I have spoken about him, you know, different ideas. But you know, but there are many ideas which I have not spoken about. So, I thought it would be interesting to talk about obviously a major figure in the redemption process. Cuz that's really who Moshiach ben Yosef is. And to get an understanding, you know, uh what does it take for Klal Yisrael to be redeemed ultimately? You know, and uh therefore it behooves us in many ways to have a certain grasp of what are the events that are involved and need to be involved in order to bring about the redemption. Cuz obviously by the redemption all of this goes away. And we are all zocheh not only to be redeemed, but to see the ultimate uh victory of Judaism over all the nations and religions of the world itself. Uh so, I thought it would it would be very important topic to talk about since what we are witnessing today in many ways is so spectacular. I mean, people look at what's happening today and they say, "This all these events all these happenings can only be happening at a time which is very close to redemption." I mean, that's how insane a great deal of what's transpiring today. I mean, we've never seen the uh absurdities, the lack of common sense,
