Exploring religious texts and deepening your knowledge of the prophecies related to Moshiach can also strengthen your resolve. Reflecting upon these texts and discussing them with others can help cultivate a stronger spiritual awareness and prepare you for the challenges that lie ahead.

Embracing Acts of Kindness

During turbulent times, kindness and compassion can act as powerful forces that bring people together. Engage in acts of kindness, both within your immediate community and beyond. Volunteer at local charities, donate to causes you believe in, and offer support to those who are struggling. These acts of kindness not only help others but also provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment in times of darkness.

By focusing on the positive impact you can have on others, you shift your perspective from the difficulties of the present to the opportunities for growth and healing that lie within your reach.

Seeking Inner Strength

The days before Moshiach can be emotionally challenging, and it is vital to prioritize self-care. Take time to engage in activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul. Practice mindfulness and meditation, engage in physical exercise, and surround yourself with supportive and uplifting individuals.

Connect with nature and find solace in its beauty. Take walks in serene environments, appreciate the wonders of creation, and reconnect with your spiritual essence. These moments of solitude and reflection can provide the clarity and inner strength needed to navigate the trials of the present.

Cultivating Hope

Hope is a powerful emotion that can sustain us during difficult times. In the days before Moshiach, it is essential to cultivate and hold onto hope for a better future. Embrace positive affirmations and visualizations that allow you to envision a world of peace and unity.

Engage in rituals that symbolize your hope for Moshiach's arrival, such as lighting candles or reciting special prayers. These actions serve as reminders of the ultimate goal and keep your faith alive even when things seem bleak.

The days before Moshiach can be testing, but with perseverance, faith, and kindness, it is possible to find strength and navigate this period with grace. By strengthening your faith, embracing acts of kindness, seeking inner strength, and cultivating hope, you can not only survive but thrive in the anticipation of Moshiach's arrival. Hold on, for a brighter future awaits.

The world is upside down. Everything we rely upon is shaking.

In this timely book, Roy Neuberger, author of the futuristic novel “2020 Vision” (published in 2008),lays out a path for survival in the Days Before the Final Redemption. “Hold On” explains how the biblical prophets and the rabbis of the Talmud predicted that, just before the the Final Redemption, a period of chaos would engulf the entire world.

“Before the Messiah comes, G-d will stretch a rope from one end of the world to the other and shake it vigorously. Those who hold on tightly will survive. Those who let go, won’t. These turbulent times are testing us in our faith in G-d. We must hold on tightly until the end.” (The Chofetz Chaim)

This book is for every person looking for stability in a chaotic world. Like the Jews who followed Moses out of Ancient Egypt, those who cling to unchanging biblical truths will be able to “Hold On” to the rope and survive the days before the Final Redemption.
