The Daf this week extensively explored the topic of Moshiach devoting much attention to the signs of the Moshiach’s imminent arrival and the question of a preordained “deadline” by which the Moshiach will certainly come. Naturally, this topic elicits intense scrutiny and curiosity: Are we seeing these pre-Messianic signs in our generation? Is the pre-ordained Messianic deadline to occur in our days? Have we already suffered the “birth pains” that are to precede the coming of Moshiach? And what are the characteristics of the person who will be Moshiach? These have been burning questions throughout the generations of our long exile.
