The Key to Both Worlds

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.

We live in very difficult times. When we look around us, we see an enormous amount of anti-Semitism. Not only that, not only is there anti-Semitism, but we witness tremendous amount of tragedies. Bankruptcies, divorces, young people who die. Many things seem to be happening, and we don't understand really why. Not only that, when we take a look at Jewish history, we go back and we examine Jewish history, examine Jewish history, and we try to understand, how do we account for all these tragedies? Let's take a look at some of the tragedies. The Beis Hamikdash, the greatest place in the world, which was the mark on the place of the divine presence itself. Why were they destroyed? The first Beis Hamikdash and the second Beis Hamikdash. How do we understand this? Not only that, but the exile itself. We have been in exile for 2,000 years. That is a very long time. long time. None of us ever expected to be in galus for 2,000 years. So, we think about these ideas and we say, why are we in galus for so many thousands of years? Where is the Mashiach? How come the Mashiach hasn't come? What delays the coming of the Mashiach? These kind of ideas and questions can go on and on. Ultimately speaking, what we must seek is clarity and an understanding and an explanation to these many, many different questions. What I would like to do in the context
