One of the signs mentioned in the Talmud as an indication of the imminent coming of the Messiah is a generation notorious for its insolence. Chutzpah will increase... the young will shame the old... a son will disgrace his father, a daughter will rebel against her mother...
Since all these signs have already been fulfilled, and more than fulfilled, without the final redemption arriving, I suggest we make positive use of the chutzpah with which our generation was marked. Let us boldly demand of God, in terms that leave no room for doubt, that, since all the deadlines for the arrival of redemption have passed, He send the redeemer. God will surely like our boldness and will bring the long-awaited era of universal peace and Divine perfection to the world."
