Time of Oneness I loved this talk, for the wonderful monkey/actor joke especially, but too for the approachable rabbi with his delicate sense of humour. Reply

Holiness allows us to see G-d. If fulfillment of the mitzvot is holiness and Moshiach comes before having fulfilled all the mitzvot will the soul be holy? Reply

excellent thank you Reply
Rabbi Avraham Plotkin tells us at 36:02 that already in the beginning of the whole creation, ruach is hovering above the deep, above the Walter, and that spirit was the spirit of the Moshiach!!!
He also explained before that, that the Moshiach will be wiser than Solomon and a leader of his people like Moses!!!
I am truely fascinated and will listen to the whole lecture and to a lot more lectures by Rabbi Avraham Plotkin!!!
You really feel the longing for the arrival of Moshiach in his words and this is so beautiful!!!
Thank you so much, Rabbi Avraham Plotkin for this WONDERFUL lecture!!!
I am praying every day for the world to prepare for the upcoming arrival of the Moshiach!!!
