I think the Messiah, like God, is the most misunderstood – furthermore, it’s distorted words. I mean, I can tell you, I don’t know how it is in Israel, but in the United States, the stereotypes around religious terms, like God, Messiah, and so on, are so deep that ninety percent of the work is not explaining what it is, but it’s un-explaining

The days of Moshiach, according to the Rambam, will be a world where materialism will only be a means to spiritual ends. So the idea of selfishness and greed and war and discord will be gone. That doesn’t mean there won’t be diversity. There will be harmony within diversity. It’s when you really see people working together of different talents and skills, that’s like a little taste of it.
