The Rabbeinu b’Chaya (end of Shemos) writes, “When the end of days will come, there will be many tzaros, one after the other. That is a sign that the Redemption is near.”

It seems that we are living in such times. One tzarah ends, and another one begins, r’l. May this be a sign that the Redemption is near. ~ R’ Elimelech Biderman
