Could anyone kindly explain what 'Ikveta Dimshiha" mean? Does it mean the season of 'plenty' is ending, and the 'lean' season is to begin? like in Pharoah's dream?
Is it o.k to feel happy that we close to Moshiach coming anytime soon? I for one even if I keep slip-sliding = I am trying to do the best I can. I just hope feeling happy to know Moshiach may appear , I am not being bad. sc
Ikvesa and chevlei , As rabbi Pinchas Winston says are two sides of the same coin. Ikvesa are the footsteps- meaning that we are so close one can hear the footsteps. Chevlei are the birth pangs of Moshiach- the final steps before a baby is born. In this case the birth pangs of a new era- the geula (redemption).
You are welcome Stella. Yes, Rabbi Jacobson is wonderful. Enjoy your learning. Always take small bites. When we take small bites it influences a greater propensity to retain the learning and the desire to learn and do.
Yes, true, yet will they wake up? Oh, I will email you on a thought I have....

We are all desperate for Moshiach to come, so of course you should feel happy if it's close.
