Not All Converts Have Converted Yet After Moshiach comes, there will be no more converts. This is because everyone who knows Judaism is where they belong will convert before Moshiach. However, with the difficulties being thrown down by the Orthodox now, it's becoming EXTREMELY difficult to convert, and then only to make aliyah to find that the convert is not accepted as a Jew, not Jewish enough – even with an Orthodox conversion. Rectify this FIRST, then look for Moshiach.

WOW! IT’S AS IF YOU WROTE WHAT IS ON MY MIND! Rivka, GREAT article, especially as you wrote EXACTLY as I'm living my life. This past summer, someone asked me what I'm doing for vacation? I looked at him a bit strangely and answered with a very straight face: "Vacation? How could I take vacation & go away? Mashi'ach is coming! I'm waiting for him!". This is how I'm living every day…. it's become more intense since returning for good in 2007. I breathe, eat, drink, think, speak, dream, talk, write, etc., about Mashi'ach coming… about the rebuilding of the most beautiful Beit HaMikdash with HKB"H's shechinah on Har HaBayit with the Kohanim doing their Avodah and bringing Korbanot & the Leviyim singing and Am Yisrael being able to come to Beit Elokeinu… We'd have our Melech from Beit David and finally… the Geulah Shelaimah. What a beautiful picture!! I think about it almost daily. You can't imagine how much I cry for Mashiach and the Geulah! I live daily thinking that THIS will be the day that Mashiach will reveal himself and I just can't move on with my life. Occasionally, someone or something distracts me from these thoughts. I, too, try to convince all my relatives and close friends to hurry and make aliyah before Mashiach arrives!

Waiting for Moshiach I know exactly what you are going through, Rivka, although I couldn’t express it as well. Thank you for putting perspective back into my life.
