Yitzchak Shimon
Enough of the Galus, we want & need Moshiach already, the Rebbe said over 26 yrs ago that the time for the Geula is so over long due, & here we are 26 yrs later & we ate still in Galus about to begin SAB (Shiva Asar BTamuz) enough of Galus already, we need Moshiach already, it’s time to go 2 Yerushalayim, the Rebbe said this not me, thank u
Enough of Galus Already
Yes I agree with #2, enough with this Galus, we don’t want to have שבעה עשר בתמוז, we want MH”M (Melech HaMoshiach) to come already, over 2000 years in Galus, the Holocaust, & other Terrible, Horrible, nasty things, ppl are suffering in all different kinds of ways, we say to HKB”H (HaKadosh Baruch Hu) Enough of this Gauls !! Enough of this Galus !! We don’t want or need it anymore, send the Geula Now !!

You wrote “so over long due” the correct way to say it is, “so long over due” just pointing it out, but yes you are 100% correct that it’s 26 years later after the Rebbe said the Sicha “כ”ח ניסן תשנ”א, “טוט אלץ וואס איר קענט “do everything you can to bring Moshiach” yes we don’t want to fast SA”B, we want the Geula Now & Moshiach to take us to Yerushalayim already, why why why do we have to fast & have the 3 weeks again & again every year, the Rebbe said that it was time way way before תשנ”א, please Hashem enough of this Galus, Stop it already, it’s time to go home to our “Real Home” that is Yerushalayim Ir HaKodesh, BE”H may the fast be dumped bec Melech HaMoshiach is gona come & redeem us, Now

Much appreciated your polite thoughtful way to correct
“so over long due” thanks for that…
however, may i follow suit and mention on your comment arguing that its been 26 years since the famous Sicha of Nissan 26. the question argument or complaint is toward whom? May I ask….
is it toward the Rebbe Hashem to others or towards yourself, as a wonder why haven’t we –myself included done our mission,, yes indeed you are correct its been 26 years now and we haven’t done what we were supposed to..
sad but true

Yes in a lot of ways I’m asking G-d, hey it’s been over 26 years it’s 26 years 2 months & 19 days exactly as of today שבעה עשר בתמוז, that the Rebbe said the Sicha of 28th of Nisan & that yes we are still in Galus, the question is to the Rebbe, G-d & to Jews worldwide, ” Why the Heck are we still in Galus, it’s time to go 2 Yerushalayim with MH”M, enough of this Galus, what is it gona take for Hashem to actually send MH”M, & if the Rebbe said back then, 26 years ago that the Galus is way long over do, then for sure 26 years later it’s even way more over do than it was 26 years ago, it’s another 26 years in Galus, ppl are too comfortable here in Galus it’s a big issue, yes we wana be happy in life, but what do we do about this Galus, it’s time to finish already, yes enough suffering, enough pain, G-d Please Send the גאולה האמיתית והשלימה Now Now Now !!
