In order to understand King Mashiach's role post redemption, we have to go back to the Torah and understand why we were reprimanded for the manner in which we initially asked for a king.

Why does Mashiach have to be a human being?
Why does redemption have to be through a human being?

One of the key components which blocks us from believing in the coming of Mashiach is Mashiach himself. How so?

In our generation, we are witnessing an amazing phenomenon. On the outside, it seems so depressing and sad, but on the inside, it is beyond exciting.

What is it about our generation, that is ready for the coming of Mashiach, more than other generations that came before?

We delve deep into the statement of Rabbi Yochanan from the Gemara in Sanhedrin who says that Mashiach will come in a generation that is either fully worth or fully guilty.

What can be done to bring the redemption closer?

Based on the words of the Zohar Hakadosh, we can understand the tumultuous times we are living in, within the context of Mashiach's imminent arrival.

The Gemara, as well as the Abarbanel and Maharal, discuss the division of 6000 years of this world. The Ramban and the Alter Rebbe discuss the division as well, all pointing us to the time we are living in, a time primed for the coming of Mashiach.

In this class, we learn from the Alter Rebbe and the seventh Rebbe what it means to believe with complete faith that Mashiach can come today, especially when it doesn't look like it can.
