FIVE YEARS AND FORTY DAYS IN CAPTIVITY MARK TISHA B'AV 5771 FOR GILAD SHALIT.

ON THIS TISHA B'AV WE MEMORIALIZE THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL BY THE ROMANS FOR THE 2041'ST TIME IN OUR HISTORY AS JEWS IN EXILE. SUCH ANNIVERSARIES! AND WE REMEMBER OTHER DESTRUCTIONS, SUCH AS THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL BY THE BABYLONIANS, SUCH AS THE INQUISITION, SUCH AS THE SHOA ....

It is said that Moshiach Moshicheh will be conceived on Tisha B'Av. This in turn implies that Moshicach Moshicheh will be born at Pesach time... and then, how many years until Moshiach Moshicheh is an adult capable of fulfilling the role of Moshiach?

Gilad Shalit should not have to wait for the arrival of Moshiach Moshicheh to be set free from his captivity.

And if Moshiach Moshicheh should already be in this world, then may he wait no longer; may he free Gilad Shalit at this very moment, and may he free Kol Yisroel at this very moment, and may he free and heal the entire world this very moment!
