Beit Din of 71

Early in the year 5765, a new voice was heard in Israel. After the restoration of Semicha in 5763, a new Beit Din of 71 first gathered in Tiberias. If was a soft call to terminate the Galut, at the appointed time.

כי הנה הסתיו עבר הגשם חלף הלך לו
הנצנים נראו בארץ עת הזמיר הגיע וקול התור נשמע בארצנו

(שיר השירים ב)

According to the teaching of Rebbi that the days of Moshiach are according to the number of days of a year, the years of the Geula could have started in year 5764, 365 years before year 6129, much as they could have started 384 years before 6129.

The restoration of Semicha, and the subsequent establishment of the Beit Din of 71, were fine examples of appointed people doing the right thing at the right time. They were not understood. They were ignored and ridiculed. Such is the fate of Yosef. This is how the awakening occurs. אשריכם.


אבן מאסו הבונים היתה לראש פנה
מאת ה' היתה זאת היא נפלאת בעינינו
