Description

Why will Moshiach ride a donkey? The Rebbe explains the symbolism behind Moshiach's Donkey and explains how Moshiach is a progression from the Avos, through Matan Torah, finally culminating in Moshiach. The donkey symbolizes the physical world, and that Messianic revelation entails engaging the physical world, which like a donkey takes its rider across distances and terrains that the rider could not traverse himself.
