[Alouette]

Every generation is gifted with a person who is qualified to be the Messiah. We pray for the Messiah to be revealed. I believed the Rebbe was qualified during his lifetime, but G-D removed him because the time was not right. The Rebbe himself never claimed that he was the Messiah.

Somewhere, there is another righteous man with all the qualifications of the Messiah. Right now we just don't know who he is, he himself may not even know. When G-D thinks the world is ready, the Messiah will be revealed to us.

Many Jews sang this song, even as they walked into the gas chambers of Auschwitz:

"I believe, with a perfect faith, in the coming of the Messiah. And even though he may delay, nevertheless I shall await his arrival, for he may come at any time."
