  1. Part 1.
    I want to share with you a True story about me. I was financial broker at the Wall Street and I was not religious at all. On September 11, 2001 , I woke up late as usual and I left home in the morning going to my Series 7 class at Broadway Avenue, I took subway and got off at the Wall St. When I went up I saw that a lot of people running towards me and I turned back and run with them backwards.
    We got into a building with those people and someone lock the door. On the first floor there were Gym with many screens on the wall and we saw that the first plane hit the first building and we understood that is the terror act. Then minutes after we saw on tv that second plane hit the second building and everybody started to scream. I realized that I need to go out and run home. There were people who refused to open the door but I and some other guys pushed them away and we got out. It was scary picture on the street ,the air everything was dust from the collapsed buildings. Cell phones were not working. I got back home through Brooklyn Bridge by walk. When I got home my mom , and my sister were crying because they thought I was inside of that building . After that I started to search Gd, I had many questions like what is purpose of life ? When someone went to work and did not come back home and died under the stones. Then I realized that I was saved by Hashem and became Baal Teshuva.

  2. Part 2.

    From 2001-2006 I was praying for my second half. And Baruh Hashem after long praying and making lots of Tikunim I met my future wife at Shabbaton at Bet Knesset Chabad( not far away from 770 Eastern PKWY, where I first put my Tefilin on). Rebbetsen introduced me to her and I knew from that minute that is her, my second half. Baruh Hashem everything was so easy and we got our Erusin within a month , on 15th Av and and on Elul 22 we got our Huppa. We finished our Shevah Brahot by Rosh HaShana and started absolutely new life building together our Jewish Home. Besides I went to Yeshiva ,I also learned Kabbalah with great mikubal Rav Moshe Milstein and then I heard that there is an opportunity to see Tsaddik Shani from Israel who had ruah hakodesh. I went with my wife to him . He asked our names and date of birth. When he saw our names and dates of birth he said you should know that you both were husband and wife in previous life , and that I was big Mikubal and we were killed at the war because we were Jews. And reason why you here , you needed to come back here because you kept everything; all the Mitsvot except one, and he told us which one and we need just to fix that. He gave me his Sefer with kabalistic tikunim for that we did it and after I finished with those Tikunim we got our Visa to EY.
    I hope my story inspired you and I wish you too be zelious with all Mitsvot to complete your journey

    1. I watched the entire video and didn’t see rabbi kessin hinting to Moshiach coming soon. He didn’t discuss Moshiach. He talks plenty of Moshiach being very close in his other lectures about Moshiach! We are very close!

  8. Yes, Moshe, amazing stories of hashgacha pratis in your life.

    I believe the dates 15 Av and 23 Ellul are very important in the Geula. I've seen it in my life.

    Remember, 9/11 was 23 Ellul. (Remember the president of the United States read Tehillim 23, not even knowing it was 23 Ellul?) I believe Hash-m brought 9/11 to give people the opportunity to do teshuva before Moshiach comes. That was the first year my husband went to Uman for Rosh Hoshana, at great difficulty because flights were cancelled etc. He went to Uman for Rosh Hoshana 20 years in a row, including the year COVID largely shut down the kibbutz, and the following year after leaving to Uman on 16 Av and staying there for 37 days, he was niftar suddenly on 23 Ellul. We also left America on 15 Av in 2006 to make aliyah, and that really came out of 9/11, because the feeling that America was safe was exposed on 9/11 to be an illusion.

  9. Just realizing 5784 is going to fall out like the 1st year of creation. Another good sign for the geula...also believing this year is yovel..

    1. How is it like the first year of creation and since when is a non-shemittah year a yovel? Let’s hope Moshiach comes before 5784.

  10. I remember reading that the signing of the evil Oslo accords was on the 23rd day of Elul also.
    I think it was Moshe Feiglin who had written an article at the time of the 9/11 horror and mentioned that the 23rd of Elul seemed to be a special date, in that the oslo debacle was also signed on that date and I can't remember, I think something else too.

  11. Donald Trump is facing 713 years in jail
    The whole thing is ridiculous but to make a bit of sense out of it...

    713 is the gematria of Teshuva.

    1. Nothing so unique. RH starts on Shabbos every few years or so. Plenty other greater reasons why Moshiach is imminent!
