In this 15th prayer of the Shemona Esrei we fulfill the obligation of yearning for Mashiach. One of the questions we will be asked after 120 years on this planet will be Tzipisa l'Yeshua...did you await the Mashiach? To be a Jew, according to the Rambam is to believe that God has a plan for His world and that the purpose of Creation is to live on a higher spiritual plane than we presently do. In the times of Mashiach, material goods will be plentiful and we can turn our attention solely to actualizing our full potential in a world that lives under One God for all peoples.
