The Erlauer Rov, Rabbi Yochanan Sofer visits the Lubavitcher Rebbe

The Erlauer Rov, Rabbi Yochanan Sofer OBM with the Lubavitcher Rebbe On 5 Adar II 5749, He came to visit the Rebbe during Dollars. In the course of the meeting, the Rebbe urged him to issue a rabbinic ruling that the world cannot proceed without Moshiach. The Rebbe told him that faced with this ruling, the Heavenly Court would be forced to comply. Rabbi Sofer responded that the Rebbe had already issued such a ruling, and Hashem would surely bring the redemption very soon. To this the rebbe replied that this is not something that can be left up to any single person; all of us need Moshiach, and so, all of us must do our part in bringing him. May we need no longer to be reminded of this urgency; may we each do our part in ushering in the Geulah speedily in our days.
