Sometimes we feel discouraged.
It's hard to keep believing that this time will be different.
We already pleaded and hoped for Moshiach countless times, but He still hasn't come.
How many times can we do the same thing and expect different results?
From where do we draw the faith that THIS time our prayers will really be answered?!
From the name of this week's Parsha.
We are taught that the numerical value of "Vaeschanan" is 515 because Moshe begged and pleaded with Hashem to enter Eretz Yisroel 515 times!
Until HaShem told him to please stop.
Because HaShem knew that if Moshe would ask even just ONE more time, He would be forced to give in.
Prayer #516 would have been the final straw to change Moshe's destiny!
This story is here to remind us that no matter how much we did until now to bring Moshiach, we must never give up!!
It's here to tell us that if we're stubborn enough in our demand, we *will* get what we want!
Because HaShem is listening and counting every single one of our prayers, and every single one of our tears.
And our next cry of "ad mosai" will very likely hit the lucky number that HaShem was waiting for, and bring salvation to the entire world!
