Where exactly in Chazal do the exact words "Moshiach ben Dan" appear?
Or is this R.Kessin's own concept?
In addition to references in Chazal to the words "Moshiach ben Yosef" and "Moshiach ben Ephraim", there is also a reference to a "Moshiach ben Menashe" (Midrash Bamidbar Rabba, Nasso 14).
So together with Moshiach ben David, we could have FIVE Moshiachs walking around in the Messianic Age!
Thank you for reading it :)
ReplyDeleteIf someone has listened please can they provide a summary of the shiur?
ReplyDeleteSadly my Hebrew is not (yet) good enough to properly understand the shiur.
Thanks.
I will try and listen today if I have time, but I need to get my focus right for Rabbi Shimon Kessin's lecures. :)
