0704 - The Rabbei'im Will Have to be in America Before Moshiach Comes - R' Peretz Mochkin

00:00 I heard from different people that, uh, once to Lubavitch came a Mekubal. His name was Rebbe Leib Hoffman, and he spoke to the Bochurim, and he told the Bochurim that he sees Al Pi Kabbalah that before Mashiach will come, that a Beis Din will have to be in America. So to me, it sounded like somebody, some Mekubal from the outside came to Lubavitch and he spoke a very interesting thing. So when I was speaking to Reb Peretz Mochkin, and I told him this, and I made it sound like some, some Mekubal, some outside Mekubal, a great person, a Mekubal came and said, so he started smiling, and he said, "You're saying it that way." He was a Lubavitcher, ZT"L. I remember when he was there, he used to come to the Rebbe Rashab. "I was there," he said, "by that farbrengen when he said that. When he said that this-- he sees Al Pi Kabbalah that the, the Beis Din will have to be in America for Mashiach. I heard him say it." So it's not like a shmoo. You hear stories that happened a few hundred years ago in shmoos. He says, "I was there," and he verified that it's true, that that's what he said.
