2. Father, it's Enough!

The nature of a parent is that when we see how much our child wants something, we feel forced to give in to him, whether our child deserves the reward or not. We can't stand to see our child crying and begging, and there is a limit to how long we can hold back our compassion even if we already made up our mind to say no or not now. 

On the other hand, even if our child deserves a reward because he worked hard for it, if the child doesn't really show they want it or seem to be in a rush, we may very likely take our time with giving it to him... because we want to give the reward in a moment when our child will really appreciate it! 

The Frierdiker Rebbe said that if every Jew, great and small, would cry out together, "Father, it's enough already, have compassion on us and send us Moshiach!", Moshiach would for sure come!

Now as we stand just a few days before Gimmel tammuz, let's show Hashem that like Uncle Meir A"H, we all really DO care to end this Golus! We want Moshiach now; we don't want to wait!
