What we are in the midst of now in the Holy Land is difficult to describe as �the beginning of the Redemption� (atchalta d�Geulah) but
it certainly represents great kindness.
[We have gone] from one extreme to the other�
from the extreme of suffering, the destruction of six million of our brethren, to
the opposite extreme�the settling of our people in our state in the Holy Land . . . .
Woe unto he who comes to judgment and is still so blind so as not to see something as clear as this
(Michtav Me�Eliyahu, vol. 3, p. 352).
