Mitchell Wohlberg shared: Once, the plight of the Jewish people in a certain small village in Eastern Europe was so great that they cried to God to send the Messiah. God heard their prayer. But when the Messiah arrived, he had a problem. Where should he announce his arrival? If he announced his presence in the Chasidic shteibel, the MItnagdim would be offended. If he announced his presence in the Mitnagdic synagogue, the Chasidim would be offended. What should he do?
He thought it over and decided that he wouldn’t come so as not to offend either group.”- Robert Orkand
When will he arrive? When we are deserving of him.
