Every month of every year, for thousands of years, Jews go outside in the dark of the night and we say Kiddush Levana. We look up at the moon and we hope that this will be the month. We hope that this will be the time when Mashiach will finally come and our tzaros will go away and Hashem's name will finally get the glory it rightfully deserves. And right at the end of Kiddush Levana, we say a little tefilah for Mashiach to arrive. We say Dovid Melech Yisrael Chai VeKayam. Dovid Melech Yisrael Chai VeKayam. We declare that Mashiach ben Dovid is on his way. This should be the month when he finally arrives. What do we say immediately after we davven for Mashiach's arrival? We turn to our friend, we turn to our neighbor, we turn to our shulmate and we say Shalom Aleichem, Aleichem Shalom. Shalom Aleichem, Aleichem Shalom. Shalom Aleichem, Aleichem Shalom. You want to know why we do that? Because that's the only way. Because that's the only way we're going to have another shot at Mashiach. Shelo anagu kavod zeh bazeh was sent away. Kavod zeh bazeh is going to bring it back. Because how ridiculous it would be to ask for Mashiach while still being entrenched in machlokes, entrenched in lashon hara, entrenched in sinah. How absolutely ridiculous it would be to ask Hashem for Mashiach while standing next to someone we can't say Shalom Aleichem to. The only way to bring Mashiach is kavod zeh bazeh. Is Shalom Aleichem, Aleichem Shalom. Shalom Aleichem, Aleichem Shalom. Shalom Aleichem, Aleichem Shalom. That's the only way. And when we turn back to our siddur, we whisper under our breath siman tov u'mazal tov l'chol Yisrael for Mashiach is coming and we can feel it. And we end off by saying Yehi u'l'hol Yisrael." Every single person in Klal Yisrael, every boy, every girl, every mother, every father, every Chassid, every Litvak, every Sefardi, every Ashkenazi, every Jewish backpacker in India, every Jewish soul from the four corners of this globe, "Y'hei lanu u'l'hol Yisrael." Amen.
