_Today's Chitas reminded me of a thought I wrote a while back..._
WILL 10 JEWS PLEASE STAND UP?!
*3730 years ago:*
Conversation between Avraham and Hashem
Avraham: "Please HaShem, don't destroy Sedom! Will you save them for the sake of 10 righteous people found there?"
Hashem: "I will not destroy for the sake of the 10."
But Avraham searched Sedom, and they were not found.
*3704 years later:*
Conversation between our Rebbe and Hashem
Rebbe: "Please Hashem, end this bitter Golus already! Will you send Moshiach for the sake of 10 Jews who really want it?"
Hashem: "Yes, I will send Moshiach for the sake of the 10."
But the Rebbe searched the world, and they were not found.
So the Rebbe turned to us on 28 Nissan 5751, and pleaded,
"May it be G-d's will that 10 stubborn Jews will finally be found, who will decide that they must cause Hashem to bring Moshiach... and then it is certain that Hashem will send the true and complete Redemption immediately."
Will 10 Jews please stand up?
_There is no question that Uncle Meir A"H has truly answered the Rebbe's call, and is counted as one of the 10 stubborn Jews who deeply and stubbornly cried out for Moshiach to come.
His tried his hardest to find 9 more chassidim to join him in his stubborn demand for Moshiach, and he is surely still searching and eagerly waiting for 9 more Jews to please stand up...
It's hard to be stubborn- to keep on trying, to keep on hoping, and to keep on demanding...
But if not me, then who?
And if not now, then when?_
