Description

The Moshiach (messiah) is referred to as “ben partzi” (the one that breaks through). Corresponding to the breakdown of barriers by Moshiach, there will be pritzus (breakdown of morality) in the world before his coming. The Jewish people will enjoy great material wealth before the coming of Moshiach and abandon Judaism. Just before Moshiach there will be a revolt against materialism and a thirst for spirituality. The generation before Moschiach will feel humiliation over the abandonment of our tradition.
