The Timing of the Geula According to the Bnei Yissaschar

Torah Papers | June 27, 2025

The Bnei Yissaschar provides three opinions as to which unique day is being referred to. One says it is in reference to Gog u’Magog, while the others say it is in reference to Shabbat and Yom Kippur.

The Bnei Yissachar says he heard from a tzaddik elyon that the meaning of the Gemara, which states that if Bnei Yisrael would only observe two Shabbatot they would immediately be redeemed, is not referring to two consecutive Shabbatot. Rather, it refers to Yom Kippur (Shabbat Shabbaton) that falls on Shabbat. Therefore, when is the time for the Geula? It is in a year like now, when Yom Kippur falls on Shabbat! Two of the three opinions cited by the Bnei Yissaschar come together, leaving us with one final opinion: Gog u’Magog – the final war.

We can look around and see them firing from every direction, and we can hear sirens extending the sound of the shofar day and night. As soon as we started shaking our lulavim, Sinwar, yimach shemo v’zichro, was quickly dispersed in all directions. We’ll continue to shake our lulavim and the dispersion will spread next to Iran, B’ezrat Hashem. This is the most opportune time for us to hear one final Tekiya Gedola, from Mashiach Tzidkeinu, signaling the arrival of our final Geula, בִּ מְ הֵ רָ ה בְ יָמֵ ינוּ אָ מֵ ן.
